Description
Abstract Women, both symbolically and physically form the site on which nationalisms and nationalist struggles are played out. Traditionally in most societies, women are expected to conform to gendered stereotypes which cast them in roles of the demure and passive nurturer, linked to the land, nation, and culture. However, in the context of war, these stereotypes are often thrown open and women are forced to or volunteer to play "men's roles". As societies attempt to reconcile themselves with these new performances, media and academic representations and analysts struggle to categorize and explain women in new ways, within their new roles.
