RUS 155 - Women in Russian Society (1830-1917): Writers and RebelsSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
In this course we will examine how Russian women’s writing prior to the 1917
Revolution reflects shifts in social and esthetic awareness. Early Russian feminism
emerged in response to the repressive regime of Nicholas I (1825-1855), the emancipation
of the serfs (1862), the assassination of Alexander II (1881), the anti-semitic
programs in the final years of the nineteenth century, and the first Russian revolution
of 1905. The course is conducted entirely in Russian.
