N2  - As terrorist groups became more technologically advanced with their media campaigns, the global audience began to see pictures of women in black burkas pledging allegiance to the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and posing with guns. Further, we face questions about the repatriation of ISIS women and children to their countries of origin - notably questions of agency and culpability within the mainstream media. Hence this paper asks: to what extent have women's roles changed within and across terrorist groups? Is there a move toward women's empowerment, or is it a facade? Analyzing the three cases of Al-Qaeda (AQ), Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) does their advent represent a significant shift?
