Galyna Babak

The aim of Galyna Babak’s research project is to study the birth and development of feminist thought and women’s rights discourse in the Ukrainian dissident movement of the 1960s–1980s. The proposed project considers the “women’s question” in the wider political and ideological context of the Soviet Ukraine of the 1960s–1980s, addressing the complicated intersection between different approaches and systems of thought, and especially the relationship between feminist thought and women’s rights discourse to Ukrainian versions of liberalism, nationalism, socialism and communism.
