  • Nurturing Democracy in Armed Conflicts Through Political Motherhood: a Comparative Study of Women's Political Participation in Argentina and Sri Lanka
    Nurturing Democracy in Armed Conflicts through Political Motherhood: A Comparative Study of Women’s Political Participation in Argentina and Sri Lanka A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science of the College of Arts and Sciences by Crystal Whetstone M.A. Wright State University August 2020 Committee Chair: Dr. Rina Verma Williams, PhD Abstract: This project examines women peace activists mobilized through political motherhood, a gendered form of political participation in which women represent themselves as mothers. I ask: What impacts the legacies of political motherhood movements in terms of duration, visibility and remembrance? By duration, I mean the length of time an organization remains active. Visibility refers to how “seen” a civic group is. Remembrance implies whether an organization’s work is remembered or forgotten. I argue that it is the perceptions of other social movement organizations (especially of feminist and human rights organizations) that contribute to either upward or downward spirals of duration, visibility and remembrance that in turn impact the legacies of political motherhood movements. When social movement actors perceive the duration, visibility and remembrance of a political motherhood movement positively, this upward spiral promotes the legacy of that movement. Conversely, when perceptions of duration, visibility and remembrance are viewed negatively, this downward spiral deadens the legacy of that political motherhood movement. This study compares Argentina’s Madres of the Plaza de Mayo (Madres) and Sri Lanka’s Mothers’ Front using visual analysis, feminist re-reading and counterfactuals.
