Shoot the Women First
Encyclopedia
Shoot the Women First is a 1991 book by Eileen MacDonald.
The book, a collection of interviews, is based on the author's encounters with female terrorists. Her book analyzes the subjects, their reasons, and their modus operandi. Named after advice supposedly given to the sharpshooters in Germany's GSG 9 anti-terrorist squad, Shoot the Women First is based on some of the world's most notorious female terrorists (Leila Khaled
and Kim Hyon Hui
), and sets out to destroy what the author sees as stereotypical myth and male fantasy surrounding such women, that they are either gun-toting lesbian feminists or misguided pawns.
Musician Martin Gordon
refers to the book in his 'Shoot The Women First' on the album 'Time Gentlemen Please' (2009).
