Abstract
Women’s revolutionary identity has often clashed with their ‘womanist’ or feminist identity. Most often, though to varying degrees feminist research has shown that the victory of the socialist or nationalist revolution is not necessarily a victory for women. On the contrary, the Algerian, Iranian, and Mozambican cases, among others, have witnessed a reversal of roles for women participants in the liberation. Research on women and revolution or national liberation is still undeveloped.
