Dr. Ayesha Ray, Professor in the Department of Political Science, published her third book, Female Militants in South Asia: Fighters and Facilitators by Lynne Rienner publishers in May 2025. The book has received high praise from experts in her field.
Bruce Hoffman, Professor at Georgetown University, and the world’s foremost expert on terrorism has this to say in his review of her book: “A compelling, well-argued, and well-written comparative study of female militants in five South Asian countries. Professor Ray’s impressive command of the theoretical and contextual literature and empirical evidence sets this book apart in its understanding of the dynamics of violence in this critical region.”Â
