Bananas, Beaches and Bases: Making Feminist Sense of International Politics [Updated Edition] by Cynthia Enloe

This is the "textbook" for a third year unit of my degree, "Feminisms, Gender and International Relations", and it's a really accessible but still academic book on how traditional International Relations has ignored and dismissed the feminist perspective, to its detriment. It's frank discussion of issues that would not be considered international relations fodder and it's relational approach to how these issues are placed within the international political system is, in my opinion, enlightening.
