Too often, these women are assumed to be controlled by men: their fathers, their husbands, or some other male relative. \u003c\/b\u003eMia Bloom contests this narrow understanding. Although extremist groups often control different aspects of women's lives, including their religious obligations or dress, jihadi women have asserted themselves in myriad ways. Bloom interrogates the prevailing perceptions about women's involvement in violent extremism exclusively as victims: manipulated, drugged, or coerced. Following her pioneering work on women in \u003ci\u003eBombshell\u003c\/i\u003e, Bloom lifts the veil of the secret world of women in jihadi groups to provide a nuanced and complex explanation of their motivations and challenge misperceptions about women's agency. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVeiled Threats \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the range of roles of the women involved in jihad—not only across secular and religious groups but within affiliated religious groups—and examines how these extremist groups have used rape as a weapon of war.
