Lecture “Gender decay” – a fascinating journey gender history Ukraine last century.

What really were the social roles of men and women in traditional Ukrainian rural communities? Why the early twentieth century in Western Ukraine was the most powerful women’s movement in Europe? Did the Soviet Union “no sex”? And what happened to gender in the 1990s and 2000s? Why the former prime minister said that “reform – not for women,” and the former president invited foreigners to come to Ukraine in spring to see how the streets are blooming chestnut trees and undress a woman? All these problematic questions were covered in lectures and discussed with the students.

The events were a turning point euromaidan modern history of Ukraine. They marked the end of the post-stage – and the birth of a new country. That is why we live in today – nurtuyuche field changes that we often do not notice. The real change – a collection of small sequential mutations, not a one-stage fracture.

When women fighting on the front, creating a new police force, reforming legislation, organize volunteer initiative, no one will say that “reform – not for women.” This situation changes the representation of women themselves and mentioned the word “feminine” – in which there are new accents.
