Representation of the Past in Georgian Feminist Thought

Abstract

The article aims to describe and analyze the representation of the past and history by Georgian feminists in the end of 19^th and beginning of the 20^th century. Gender equality, the role of women, and in general, the history of Georgia and Russia’s influence on it are the major topics that were outlined by analyzing archived data and secondary sources. We can conclude that the history of Georgia is mostly idealized by Georgian feminists, though it is still different from the dominant discourse as it concentrates on women’s issues.
