| Abstract: | The 8th of September is a National Day that kindles narratives of suffering, boundless patriotism, victory and redemption. It is a unifying symbol of our nationhood that is clearly forged in the collective memory of the Maltese people. Yet women and their historical role in social and political processes are mostly omitted from the prevailing narratives that reinforce our sense of nationhood. [Excerpt] |
