ROZWÓJ PRASY KOBIECEJ W ROSJI DO 1917 R.
DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN’S PRESS IN RUSSIA BEFORE 1917

Summary/Abstract: In Russia, in the pre-revolutionary period, magazines of literary and social character dominated on the female press market, their role was both educating women and providing entertainment to them. In the revolutionary period (1904–1917), the activation of women’s movements and the politicisation of the “women’s issues” affected an intensive development of the women’s press. In the political press, feminists and representatives of leftist political parties raised women’s problems, their unequal status in society and in the family. In mass magazines of literary and journalistic character, which often promoted the traditional role of women, despite of topics related to running a household and fashion, there were references to the activities of women’s organisations and the fight for women’s rights.
