Over the next five years, around 150 women left the UK to heed this invitation, and the so-called 'jihadi brides' were rarely out of the news. This book traces the media fascination with those who joined the 'caliphate,' including Sally Jones, Aqsa Mahmood and Shamima Begum. Through an analysis of the media that presented the 'brides' for public consumption, Leonie B. Jackson reveals the gendered dualistic construction of IS women as either monstrous or vulnerable.
