What can be drawn from the analysis that has been made is that nationalism and feminism can be complementary. However, there are still issues that comes along with this and which I have tried to highlight in my analysis as in my discussion. The conclusion of this study is that nationalism needs to be understood in its contextual form and how nationalism, in this case, can to some extent be complementary with feminism. (Less)
