This course focuses on the experiences both lived and imagined of women in Russia and Eastern Europe from the nineteenth century to the present day. We will examine the portrayal of women in print and visual culture and focus on how gender is depicted in a variety of contexts, including high and low literature; folklore and fiction; advertisements and film; political tracts and memoirs. Our discussion will consider questions of gender, sexuality, LGBTQIA+ rights movement, and the role of the family in day-to-day life and society at large; we will analyze how women's roles evolved in countries that went through radical and abrupt social and political changes.
