Description:

Explores the changing role and cultural images of women as reflected in Russian folklore, medieval documents, and literature (fiction and non-fiction) of the 10th--19th centuries. Focuses on the construction of gender in traditional (patriarchal) Russian culture and on the strategies of women's resistance to the political, social and cultural implications of gender stereotypes. Although the course includes works of Russian women and men alike, it intends to revise the canon of Russian culture by reading them through the prism of gender issues of their times. Knowledge of Russian is not required. Taught in English. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: historical context.
