Fika and Feminism: Part 2

Things That Go Boom

It took two years, after holdups from Turkey and Hungary, but Sweden has officially joined NATO. A move not everyone in Sweden is super psyched about.

But this country’s history isn’t quite so peaceful as it might seem.

And how does feminist foreign policy really play out when defense is center stage?
