Blessing-Miles Tendi's study of the 2017 coup that ousted Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe includes an examination of the role played by women and women's politics.

"Coup politics also plays out in the homes or private spaces of coup-makers, incumbents targeted in coups and diplomats working in coup-affected countries. Incorporating the private space in our research helps us move beyond male-centred analyses of coups ... and facilitates the visibility of the agency of women in coup situations." from the introduction

 Blessing-Miles Tendi is Professor of Politics at the University of Oxford. He is the author of The Army and Politics in Zimbabwe: Mujuru, the Liberation Fighter and Kingmaker.
