 * Length of summary ranges from one paragraph to five.

Would probably be a decent idea to begin an important writings section using the existing summary of Sex and Death and then creating my own summation of Cohn's recent published book. (Depending on amount of time available.)

Actually, upon checking to see the most cited works of Carol Cohn, her second most cited work is "Wars, wimps, and women: Talking gender and thinking war". Due to its higher relevance, perhaps a summation of this work would be more useful to wiki users.

Draft time
In "Wars, Wimps, and Women: Talking Gender and Thinking War", Cohn focuses her essay concerning the language of defense intellectuals on a concept she describes as “gendered discourse”: a set of intertwined words, images, and associations that form the basis of how we perceive ourselves as men and women. One aspect of gendered discourse that Cohn gives particular attention to is the dichotomies within language that have a manifest relationship to the dichotomy of masculinity and femininity. In dichotomies such as “logic to intuition” and “abstraction to particularity” not only is the first half of the dichotomy associated with masculinity but is also perceived as the superior quality of the two. According to Cohn, one detrimental side effect of this gendered discourse is that the only way anyone can be perceived as legitimate in the world of defense intellectuals is to “talk like a man” and exhibit the more valued traits on the masculine side of characteristic dichotomies, a practice that stymies dialogue and prevents the influence of valuable perspectives on national security issues of dire importance. As Cohn attributes this deficiency in diverse perspectives back to the gendered discourse that preemptively deters any perspective perceived as feminine, the solution, Cohn argues, is not simply to bring more women into the war room but to encourage both men and women to reexamine the ideas and values that have hitherto been silenced.
