XIX amžiuje Vakarų ir Rytų Europos tautinių judėjimų ideologai moteriai skyrė tam tikrą vaidmenį moderniųjų tautų formavimosi procese. Moters aktyvavimą šiame procese jie suprato skirtingai. Vakarų Europos tautinių judėjimų ideologų manymu, moteris galėjo atlikti tautinių vertybių diegėjos, tautinės kultūros kūrėjos vaidmenį, jai besiejant savo gyvenimo aspiracijas su dalyvavimu viešajame gyvenime. Tuo tarpu Vidurio ir Rytų Europos tautinių judėjimų ideologai sprendė dilemą: kaip suderinti moters - tautinių vertybių saugotojos ir diegėjos privačioje erdvėje vaidmenį sujos pastangomis siekti visavertės asmenybės raiškos dalyvaujant viešajame gyvenime, kuriame nebuvo sudaryta sąlygų tautinių vertybių puoselėjimui. XIX-XX a. sandūroje lietuvių inteligentija, koordinavusi tautinio atgimimo procesą, taip pat sprendė šią dilemą.
