Gender and Citizenship: an Enlightening Linkage Towards Emancipation of Women

Summary/Abstract: Due to the ambivalent nature of modernity, citizenship has been historically used as a force for inclusion and exclusion. Societal transformations brought about the necessity to reformulate the concept of citizenship into a gendered political conception by which one can evaluate hegemonic relations of different nature. The contested nature of citizenship also provided an avenue for women‟s political participation through different means in different societies.
