Women and the Imagined Community: Selected Patterns of Practicing Gender in Nationalist Organizations

Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of selected patterns of gender practice by women in nationalist organizations as part of the tasks and responsibilities that they perform. The main goal is to answer the question: How do gendered dimensions of work correspond with the typology of the ways women are present in national communities. In other words, how are women present in the organizations that were investigated? The text is based on material from in-depth interviews and, as an auxiliary, observation. Based on the analyses, the author proves that the discussed patterns of reproducing femininity in selected tasks are a space in which, on the one hand, the binary division into femininity and masculinity is recreated, on the other, through the described niches of female activists’ work, they gain the opportunity to participate and agency in symbolic fights for a national community.
