Diana Taylor's article reinforced the idea of an "imagined" nation through her examination of the Dirty War in Argentina.  I find it extensively fascinating that the idea of 'citizenship' and 'the nation/nationalism' are so malleable -- we can look within America's past to see examples of this flexibility.  I wonder whether (and why or why not) ideas of "womanhood" and its meaning/practice succumb to changes much like citizenship and nationalism.  I know they altered within the sphere of redefining the nation, yet have definitions of "woman" really run the gamut?  This question is applicable to more than just the US.  Really, I'm looking for an example where 'womanhood' is broader than usual in this redefinition of nation and citizen.
