Question: A number of authors have mentioned how treating women's bodies as symbols may determine their roles in society. Discuss in detail Downing and Mehta's analyses of ‘women as mother/land' in France and India, tracing how it had traditionally been deployed, as well as how modern conservative women have updated this trope in order to advance their political agendas and whether/how they've been successful in doing so.

Discuss in detail as well how the various women in both the Breukmann and Kelly articles use their status as mothers to justify their political activism and, in some cases, violence.

Finally, and from a very different perspective, discuss in detail how the women who participate in SlutWalks (videos) literally use their bodies in order to reclaim power over their own bodies. Is there any similarity between their confrontational style and that used by the Army of Durga in India? What may be the effects (on allies, bystanders, opponents) of this confrontational style?
