Full textAbstract:
Abstract Paek Sinae (1908–39) was a modern woman writer whose career was cut short by an early death. She lived in the era of New Women, but unlike most of her peer woman writers, Paek had little formal education or connections to the literary establishment (mundan). This background, combined with her modest output of fictional works, resulted in Paek Sinae being seen by critics during her lifetime and scholars long after her death as a provincial writer, thus affording her only limited recognition. This article challenges such dismissals and seeks an approach that would allow a more comprehensive appreciation of Paek Sinae and woman writers more broadly. First, the article looks closely at Paek's life based in her hometown away from the social center of Kyŏngsŏng (present-day Seoul) and considers how geographical and linguistic aspects of Paek's locale were misunderstood by critics. Next, with a focus on Paek's travels and her travelogues, cosmofeminism and global-local connections are examined as a key to understanding the complexities of being a modern woman writer in Paek's day. At the same time, by putting a spotlight on the “lesser” literary genre of the travelogue, this article also gestures toward a more inclusive approach to research on woman writers whose aesthetic or literary qualities were often judged only by their works of fiction (sosŏl) or poetry, while other important works like autobiographical or sociopolitical essays tended to be overlooked. Paek Sinae's life and work add breadth to the already complex definition of New Women and early feminism, and through her example, this article urges a more comprehensive consideration of works by Korean women writers in the early twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
A figurative model is a living model, one way or another created in the imagination of a writer, which stimulates his creative fantasy when describing a specific character in its various manifestations, and also helps to find the necessary linguistic means, materials and images for creative work when creating this character. The image of a long-suffering woman occupies an important place in literature, especially in the works of Arab writers. Jubran Khalil Jubran and Huseyn Javad are two outstanding authors whose works are full of deep social and philosophical reflections on the fate of women. This study is aimed at analyzing the image of a long-suffering woman in their works. This study examines two female images: from the novel Broken Wings by the Lebanese writer Jubran Khalil Jubran (1883-1931) and from the play Maral by the Azerbaijani writer Huseyn Javid (1882-1941), in order to identify similarities and differences between them. The image of the long-suffering woman occupies an important place in literature, especially in the works of Arab writers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the image of the long-suffering woman in their works. Both works touch upon the problems of the position of women in Eastern societies. This is the image of a submissive woman in one of the first novels in Arabic literature, «Broken Wings», as well as in the play «Maral», the first dramatic work in Azerbaijani literature that depicts the suffering of women in Caucasian society at that time. The methodology of this study is based on the approach of the American school of comparative literature. As a result, it was concluded that the two writers took a similar path in achieving their main goal - to convey the image of an Eastern woman striving to gain freedom.

Full textAbstract:
This essay builds upon work surrounding reception and the figure of the early modern woman writer to examine textual instances in which women’s writing has been “found” or manufactured: where writing falsely or tenuously attributed to historical women was circulated under their signatures as their voice. These fictions of production circulated as prosopopoeiae within women’s lifetimes alongside writers’ own scribal and print textual productions, as well as in the centuries following their deaths in the service of editorial, antiquarian, and historical projects. The complexity of naming and attribution in the texts discussed suggests that any distinct separation of speaker and author fails to recognize the centrality of prosopopoeiae to the rhetorical formations underwriting conceptions of the early modern woman writer. The essay newly argues for prosopopoeia as a generative figure of speech that enabled rather than restricted formations of the English woman writer and her participation in literary history.

Full textAbstract:
There is a popular trend to present woman as a topic through novels. These novels presents different social behaviors towards woman’s role and value in a society. Sometimes the presentation of this topic shows reverse approach of the writers. In this context these novels reflects character assassination of a women through their approach. Anwasi is also a novel like this which addresses the role of a significant woman of the Punjab in 19th century. Characteristic study of this novel shows that writer has destroyed the character of sungri through his non constructive approach. This approach devalued the female character and she seemed like fake and unrealistic. This novel presents a spoiled perspective of this women. In this article the researcher tried to comprehend the approach of writer to assassinate the women character.

Full textAbstract:
The research article aims to analyse the delineation of male characters in the novels of Manju Kapur. It tries to highlight the image of male characters from the perspective of a woman writer, who happens to be a feminist. In contemporary Indian English fiction dominated by women writers the primary focus is on the representation of women characters and addressing their sensibilities, their plight and place in patriarchal setting. As such, the male characters have been presented either with less vigour or as typical chauvinistic individual, responsible for the ordeals of women in society. In very few novels by women novelists in modern scenario do we find the sympathetic treatment given to the male characters. Considering this aspect of modern Indo-Anglian fiction, the article endeavours to examine the portrayal of male characters in women centric novels, by a woman writer. The qualitative method has been used to deduce how much and how sympathetic treatment has been given to the male characters by the novelist. In order to analyse the representation of men, Manju Kapoor's Difficult Daughters (1998), A Married Woman (2003), Home (2006), and The Immigrant (2008) have been brought under study. A comparison between the representation of men in the novels by men writers and that in the novels by women writers has been taken into consideration in order to draw an objective and unbiased conclusion.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims at shedding some light on the images of women in some feminist novels known as Feminist Literature. The research depicts a number of Arabic feminist writers concentrating on the structure of Feminist Literature generally, and Arabic women writers specifically. The study examines the characters, the narrative angle and the narrative sequence and its objective sensitivity at three levels: the woman as an author, a narrator, and the artistic character dealing with issues of justice, liberty and equality with man, considering the various humanitarian models: the striver, the lover and the educated within the borders of the forbidden, the fear, and the limitations. The popularity of Feminist Literature is one of the issues of modernity in the Arab world. The role of Jordanian women writers is apparent in literature. Their creative works compete with those of dominant men in terms of imagery and artistic presence. The inner persona of the woman writer is dominant even though her work represents a realistic view. The problematic issue of writing for women writers seems to be plunged in paradox and sharp in its novelistic representation. The novelistic modules studied indicate the success the Arab woman writer achieved in terms of the use of artistic tools, and the ability to confront and reveal the untold. Although the feminists’ novels seem to dwell in an anxious environment, they represent an arena of conflict representing the artistic and living realities.

Lei, Victoria. "Positioning the woman writer : Augusta Webster and her Victorian context." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2000. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/40935/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis takes its direction from the belief that the preoccupations of a period are often most helpfully discussed through the work of its so-called minor writers. Such writers also enable the critic to articulate and clarify the concerns of other writers more firmly established in the canon. At the same time, of course, the minor writer is inevitably given importance and position within the context of the period, in a fruitful two way process. This is particularly the case with the Victorian writer Augusta Webster since her use of a wide variety of literary genres helps to express the breadth of literary culture in the period. At the same time, since she is a woman and a woman writer, subject to the historical circumstances peculiar to her sex, a study of her work enables the articulation of the linked literary, social and political concerns that surround the problem of identifying how writers construct and are constructed by gender. Positioning Augusta Webster, which is what this thesis seeks to do, thus unavoidably involves a discussion of the Victorian context within which she works and, I hope, goes some way to illuminating both the writer and the context. I begin by offering a literary and biographical overview with the aim of identifying the major issues both formal and historical which she encountered as an aspiring writer and semi-public figure. I try to show that her growth as a writer was linked to her preoccupations with the 'woman question', specifically with the education, work and political situation of women. I try also to show how these issues were those of the time and how Augusta Webster's treatment of them affected contemporary responses to her work. The Introduction is followed by a chapter on Webster's novel, Lesley's Guardians. My next chapter engages with Webster's translations of Æschylus and Euripides. The central section of my thesis is devoted to Webster's most famous work, A Castaway, which notoriously provides the fallen woman, here a middle-class prostitute, with a voice. Dickens, Gaskell and Barrett Browning are also introduced in their treatment of the fallen woman. Portraits, in the next chapter and the way in which the outsider is employed as social critic is analysed. Chapter five deals with Webster's closet dramas. I begin with brief outlines of these little known works; place them among other nineteenth century dramas and note that they were generally well reviewed. The sixth chapter takes Webster's writing life towards its conclusion with a discussion of her fantasy for girls. Daffodil and the Croäxaxicans. This story of the adventures of a young girl in a frog kingdom is situated within the genre of Victorian writing for children. I conclude with some speculation about the reputation of Augusta Webster. Beginning with Theodore Watts-Dunton's prediction that Webster would, like many others, probably be forgotten after her death, I suggest that although the factors that shape the subsequent reputation of a writer are extremely complex, some possibilities may be put forward to explain why Webster is only now becoming known again.

Thompson, Rachel Grace. "Narratives of return : the contemporary Caribbean woman writer and the quest for home." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2015. http://research.gold.ac.uk/11741/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates how diasporic Caribbean women writers use the vehicle of the novel to effect a ‘writing back’ to the Caribbean home through what I propose to consider as a specific sub-genre of Caribbean literature: ‘narratives of return’. I argue that novels which constitute ‘narratives of return’ reveal how diasporic identity continues to be informed by a particularised connection to the Caribbean homeland. Firstly, I propose the region’s literary representation within these narratives as the home of cultural memories which fully inform the hybridised nature of diasporic subjectivity. Secondly, I investigate the narrative of return’s depiction of the Caribbean as the site of historical, collective, and personal trauma which continues to influence notions of identification and belonging to the region for Caribbean people. Whilst ‘return’ refers to the act of ‘writing back’ to the Caribbean by diasporic authors, I suggest that the ‘return’ represented within the narratives can also be literary, symbolic, metaphorical and physical. I investigate how the ‘return’ is negotiated within the text, exploring what ‘narratives of return’ reveal about Caribbean diasporic subjectivity and the relationship of protagonist and author with Caribbean history and the ancestral home. Theories of culture and identity acquisition will be crucial in addressing these questions, while my analysis explores how Caribbean diasporic identity is informed by an inherently traumatic and violent history of colonialism. I argue towards the healing, therapeutic function of the discourse of the ‘narrative of return’ in selected novels by diasporic authors from the Anglophone, Francophone, and Hispanophone Caribbean. My approach seeks to unveil links between islands, recognising similarities in diasporic and Caribbean experience across racial, cultural and linguistic differences. I propose the Caribbean as a space which is representative of traumatic experience for Caribbean people across racial and cultural boundaries, investigating the palliative nature of the ‘narrative of return’ in effecting a process of confronting and working through past traumas.

Full textAbstract:
This work explores ways in which early modem women writers were presented in their printed books within the literary landscape of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. It consists of a survey of the typographical presentation of title pages and front 'matter in printed texts, identifying rhetorically feminine self-constructions which allow the writers to negotiate their way to publication. This survey also provides a historical context for the close reading of two case studies: Aemilia Lanyer's Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum (1611) and Elizabeth Cary'sThe Tragedie of Mariam, The Faire Queene of Jewry (1613), together with examination of some extant copies. Early modem women writers seem to present themselves as stereotypically ideal and modest in order to be writers who are able to reach readers of the printed word. They are able to use the idea of femininity as a source of strength and as part of a wilful strategy in a fictive self-construction to fulfil readers' expectations of an ideal woman's writings, The survey suggests that the physical presentations of their books are constructed in the full awareness of these strategies.

Gibbons, Megan E. "Speaking out from within: Ana Caro and her role as a woman writer in seventeenth-century Spain." Thesis, Boston University, 2012. https://hdl.handle.net/2144/32018.
Full textAbstract:
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University<br>Ana Caro de Mallén (c.1600-1645) wrote primarily comedias, autos sacramentales, and relaciones. Since she received monetary compensation for her autos and relaciones, Caro is arguably one of the first female professional writers to appear in Spain as well as in Europe as a whole.
After exploring Caro's personal life and contextualizing her situation as a female cultural producer within early modern Europe, this study presents new readings of her plays and an examination of her relaciones in order to reveal Caro's consistent, albeit subtle, challenge to the patriarchal structures so deeply ingrained in the Spain of her day. In the play entitled Valor, agravio y mujer, the role of the gracioso as male friend to the protagonist Leonor is explored, showing how their relationship diverges from that commonly found in the comedia. In El conde Partinuplés, the use of the "invisible-mistress" plot is examined as a parody of certain elements of the typical "wife-murder" drama. While the relaciones are studied as independent texts, they are compared to other texts written by male writers about the same events, thereby revealing some of the ways Caro diverges from dominant representational practices.
Although not a feminist in the modern sense of the word, Caro is certainly partial in her stance toward women in that her plays consistently highlight the dilemmas, frustrations, hopes and aspirations of her female characters. Likewise, in her relaciones , Caro does not refrain from commenting on the qualities of good leadership, the economic crisis in Spain, and the political tensions between Spain and countries such as France and Portugal. In this way, Caro succeeds in inserting her voice into a public sphere that often cultivated women's silence.
Unlike Spain's other early modern women writers--who largely wrote either lyric poetry or religious texts from within the confines of convents--Ana Caro intervened in public and male-dominated areas by writing plays for the commercial stage and selling relaciones about major events.

Bench, Sheree Maxwell. ""Woman Arise!": Political Work in the Writings of Lu Dalton." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2002. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/4518.
Full textAbstract:
In 1872, Mormon plural wife, educator, and suffragist Lucinda Lee Dalton began writing fiery political essays and insightful poetry for the Woman's Exponent from her small community in southern Utah. Through her writings Dalton endeavors to shape the opinions of Exponent readers by working within public discourse toward the goal of equality for women. At times both optimistic and troubled, she uses the rhetorical strategies of humor, irony, reason, identification, and persuasion to educate men and women on disparities and to encourage women to participate actively in their own emancipation. She often engages in a dialogical process with other writers by crafting both polemic and poetic responses to specific writings in order to work toward greater insight on critical issues. As an essayist Dalton defends her religion, calls for the expansion of women's political and economic opportunities, and asserts that the elevation of women is crucial to achieving the potential of both sexes. As a poet she is a compelling writer who reveals in her poems her apprehensions and aspirations, her faith and feminism. Much of her poetry reflects the same commitment to reform that is clear in her essays, and she uses both genres do effective political work. This thesis uses a pluralist approach to recover Lu Dalton as an important early Mormon writer. It articulates her merit as a representative voice by evaluating the historical context and rhetorical function of her published writings in which she actively calls for broad societal reform, writing on women's roles, political rights, and relationship with God and men.

This essay examines the evolution of my twenty-year interest in the work of Italian nineteenth-century woman writer Neera (pseudonym for Anna Radius Zuccari), an interest that has culminated with the recent publication Nineteenth-Century Italian Women Writers and the Woman Question: The Case of Neera (2021). My attention to this writer has shifted from an initial exploration of the various characteristics of her production to what I now view as the principal lens for interpreting Neera’s role and work: positioning her inside a matrilineal family tree within the Italian literary landscape, one that recognizes the importance of her legacy as literary mother to the numerous Italian women writers that followed. My essay considers Neera’s significance today from this perspective while also reflecting upon evolving critical trends within Italianistica.

Full textAbstract:
The process of displacement and the large numbers of Baltic refugees due to the return of Soviet occupation at the end of World War II is important theme in literature. In the literatures of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia after war a new and long-lasting phenomenon appeared � literature of exile. This paper will turn to three texts that are from different decades and are written in different styles about displacement. The research focus will be on the novel �After Doomesday� (1968, English translation 2017) [3] by Latvian author Gunars Janovskis (1916�2000) who started his career as a writer in the still independent Latvia. Due to this fact the refugee topic in his novel is based on personal experience and memories and from the perspective of a grown-up. Also the novel �A Woman in Amber� (1995) [4] by the American writer of Latvian origin Agate Nesaule (1938�2022) is autobiographical. She experienced displacement as a child and in her novel she restores the trauma of displacement on a child�s psyche. She has fully integrated in the American society and as her literary language she chose English, thus producing a kind of a hybrid text. A thoroughly different approach to the refugee theme is created in the novel �Salt to the Sea� (2016) [7] by the American author of Lithuanian origin Ruta Sepetys (1967). She is a descendant of Lithuanian refugees, who became immigrants in USA, and in her historical fiction she has no reference to personal experience of displacement. In this paper these three novels will be compared from the perspectives of gender,different generations and textual strategies in the depiction of refugees, displacement and immigration, and a paradigmatic sketch will be provided of the depiction of refugee phenomenon in literature.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is about the Tanizaki Jun’ichirō’s (1886–1965) experience of creating a 1920–1950s Japanese woman image inspired by the urban environment of Yokohama — the city as a mirror of the Western culture in Japan. The writer who had combined the images of European and Oriental women in order to obtain the architype of new Japanese woman in his early works no longer wanted to do this. He began to portray a new-age woman — his new ideal, which writer observed in Hollywood movies. Tanizaki Jun’ichirō anticipated the appearance of Modan gāru on the Japanese stage, women who became objects of public attention because they followed Western fashion trends and lifestyle. Precisely this kind of woman occupied Tanizaki’s mind for the first half of the 1920s. The novel Blue Flower (Aoi hana, 青い花, 1921) was the first Tanizaki Jun’ichirō’s work, in which we meet the modan garu, a new type of Japanese woman of the first half of the XX c. In this novel, he presents the West as a source of femininity, and western attributes now as being able to change both the exterior and interior of a human. Blue Flower is the result of Tanizaki Jun’ichirō’s research of these new women in his quest for their physical perfection.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the ways of translating a gender aspect on the basis of Virginia Woolf’s essay «A room of one’s own». When it comes to Woolf’s woman characters, first of all, images of feminist women come to our mind. Women in her books were encouraged to examine their own psyches in depth, to re-examine the female position as women for the male world. Virginia Woolf proposed the removal of everything that mattered to men: competition and dominance. Analysis of this work shows that a woman for the writer is a symbol, not just a living creature. The image of a man in her books is described briefly, due to what as it is often said only about a woman, her worries and tragedies caused by men. A number of transformations are needed to translate the description of habits and behaviour of men and women.

In XII Congress of the ICLA. Georgian Comparative Literature Association, 2025. https://doi.org/10.62119/icla.3.8936.
Full textAbstract:
Our interest in this issue has arisen from the main global problem – the Coronavirus pandemic. We wondered how the nineteenth century is represented in the texts of Georgian writers, how Georgian folk rituals and beliefs against infectious diseases are presented in the texts of the nineteenth-century Georgian writers: Nikoloz Natidze-Melania, Niko Lomouri, and Anastasia Eristavi-Khoshtaria. The research aims to find out whether the reflection of rituals and beliefs in the stories of the above-mentioned writers is their artistic means or the way to show the spirit of the epoch and the worldview of the time – serious socio-cultural changes taking place in the nineteenth century Georgia, the desire to show their position about these changes or innovations. The texts of the writers we have selected are important from the standpoint that Anastasia Eristavi-Khoshtaria is a woman writer standing at the forefront of Georgian gender writing, Nikoloz Natidze was a clergyman, and Niko Lomouri was a well-known teacher. Therefore, important are the events seen and appreciated through the eyes of a clergyman, woman writer, and teacher. All three stories, especially Lomouri’s and Eristavi-Khoshtaria’s, pose the issue of women's rights and are the best examples of Georgian children's writing. This interdisciplinary research, based on archival materials and scientific literature, showed that all three texts depict the customs related to infectious diseases as an artistic way of expressing current significant socio-cultural and, consequently, mental changes. By using the beliefs related to infectious diseases, the authors inform readers of their position on the most important, current epoch-making events. The Georgian experience of fighting epidemics, seen by the three mentioned authors, conveys socio-cultural processes that are generally characteristic of the European context.

Full textAbstract:
The present study examines the contemporary rewriting in the French language of Euripides' play The Trojan Women by Jean Paul Sartre. The French philosopher having the intention once more to deal with humanity�s big problems, he intensifies Euripides� text with elements drawn from modern society and era. The theme dealt with is war and suppression, along with their conviction, a pattern especially popular with the creator since it is the one he deals with in his debut drama Bariona ou le fils de tonnerre (1940). Also, The Trojan Women (1964) linguistic style matches that of Bariona and Nekrassov (1955), since the personalities of the main heroes in all three plays are governed by the same notions: self � denial, rebelliousness and a firm belief in the ideals. The element which distinguishes the abovementioned texts from the rest of the writer�s dramaturgic work is their abstinence from an existential and psychological � analytical spirit. Thus, the existentialist dramaturgist�s familiar speech with which so many scholars have been preoccupied is almost absent from The Trojan Women. The Sartre�s goal is to �shout out loud� Euripides� big truths and in order to achieve it, he instills into his heroes additional characteristics, thus giving them an even more rebellious and aggressive constitution than the already existing one, expressed by a modern glossolalia. In The Trojan Women, the pioneer writer also deals with the impaired place of woman in contemporary society, an idea also existing in current days.

Full textAbstract:
In the cultural sciences, the West and the East are seen as two fundamentally different types of worldview and social order; “They constantly interact, assimilate each other's values, enrich each other“ – says researcher J. Stidman. If earlier it was thought that Eastern and Western cultures did not intersect, as the famous English writer R.S. "The West is the West, the East is the East, and they will never meet," Kipling said. West and East are distinguished by many characteristics, including a view of the world and the definition of a person's place in it. The novel "Princess Diaries" by the American writer Jean Sesson tells the story of these two different worlds, which are works of the epistolary genre characteristic of Western literature. In it, an Arab princess tells the story of the unjust status of Arab women in the form of diaries. One of the main problems of modern life is the so-called gender problem, which was talked about openly in the 70s of the 20th century. An unusually bold woman who can resist an unjust tradition. The own voice of the author is lost in the work, we can assume that it has each narrator, which is one of the distinctive features of postmodern literature. Based on an ideological-artistic analysis of literary Orientalism, the work "Oriental World in a Modern Novel" discusses the interplay of Eastern and Western traditions, the status of women, their role and struggle against injustice, disenfranchisement, the topic of historical East-West culture and the issue of confrontation.

Full textAbstract:
The paper is devoted to the peculiarities of the man image in Japanese woman writer Okamoto Kanoko’s fiction. As a rule, the hero-lover (victim) has not the indispensable vitality and innate power. He is sickly or weak-minded. His fragility and passivity are contrasted with heroine’s (vampire) strength and assertiveness. The demonic motif is ubiquitous in Okamoto Kanoko’s stories. In other side, the man image is not a “lover”, but a “son”, which cult was set in her works. In certain cases heroine’s attitude to a hero leads to the erotic conflict.

Full textAbstract:
Nadezhda Lukhmanova (1841–1907) was a novelist, playwright, publicist, lecturer. Today her name is almost forgotten, but at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries she was well-known throughout Russia: her artistic and dramatic works were widely in demand, she gave lectures in the capital and abroad, worked as a journalist in the leading St. Petersburg newspapers. At the age of 62, she took part in the Russian-Japanese war as a nurse of the Red Cross and war correspondent (Peterburgskaia gazeta, Yuzhniy Krai). During her stay in the war and later in Japan, Lukhmanova wrote not only travel notes and articles for newspapers, but also short plays, stories based on real events (Shaman, Black stripe, Tree in the Palace of Chizakuin, Li-Tun-Chi), stylization of Chinese and Japanese fairy tales (The Only Language Clear for a Woman, Human Soul, Typhoon, Golden Fox). The writer raised a variety of topics: the place and role of women in the war, the organization of hospitals, unjustified victims of war and the problem of moral choice, as well as ethnographic sketches devoted to the traditions and mode of life of Manchuria and Japan. And if its early records resemble ethnographic sketches, filled with wariness towards the local population and a lack of understanding of Chinese customs, then later, in fairy tales and diary sketches, the sense of guilt before the Chinese people for the bloody slaughter taking place on their land becomes more clearly apparent. The works of the writer were undeservedly forgotten for more than a hundred years and are just beginning their return to literary memory.

"Mytho-Folklore Paradigms in Georgian Medieval and Modern Literature According to the Prose Romance “Amiran-Darejaniani” by Mose Khoneli (XII c.) and the Novel “The Cry of the Goddess” by Grigol Robakidze (XX c.)." In XII Congress of the ICLA. Georgian Comparative Literature Association, 2025. https://doi.org/10.62119/icla.3.8949.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of presented research is to investigate how the undying mytho-folklore images of demigod Amirani and his mother, goddess of hunt, Dali have been influencing Georgian secular literature from its dawn up to the modern time. “Amiran-Darejaniani” by Mose Khoneli, precursor of Shota Rustaveli, was written in the epoch of the early feudalism , when the political– economical system ascended and, like Europe the Chivalry institution was established. The aim of the author was description and praise of the knighthood: their way of life, educational – moral system, concept of chivalrous conduct. Idealizing the hero knight, his noble deeds, the author describes his extraordinary challenges before claiming his honor. The romance stands between myth, fairy tale and realistic story. In contrast with Shota Rustaveli’s romantic poem “The Knight in the Panther’s Skin”, “Amiran– Darejaniai” is free of romantic background, of any religious idea or national pathos. Mose Khoneli’s authorship is based on the information recorded in the Pseudo-Rustavelian strophe of the epilogue of “The Knight in the Panther’s Skin” by Shota Rustaveli. The modern writer Grigol Robakidze faced different demands of his epoch: re-examination of every aspect of existence, first of all the intrinsic worth of the individual. The love story of the noble woman Ivlite representing the mortal splitting image of the Goddess Dali (connected to love and hatred, capable of both good and evil) and young hunter Tanbi, depicts their struggle for personal freedom. G. Robakidze, a famous mythmaker, relying on literary devices – symbolic and imaginary, created a psychological novel with a strong and mighty woman. In both literary works we have mythorealistic literary creations with different aims and manner of writing in answer to the time demand.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this research is the social roles and stereotypes of femininity in the almanac «Kurier Kryvbasu». The aim of the study is to conduct a systematic analysis of gender stereotypes of femininity in the literary almanac. The article employs the following methods: theoretical – for studying gender theory, stereotyping, and their application in the analysis of the content of the periodical; systemic-structural analysis – for conducting a systematic analysis of the social roles of femininity in the almanac «Kurier Kryvbasu»; structural-typological – for studying the content and structure of the literary almanac; descriptive method - for interpreting women’s roles and stereotypes. Main findings. The role of gender stereotypes in representing women in the media texts of contemporary Ukrainian writers in the pages of the periodical almanac «Kurier Kryvbasu» has been elucidated. A systematic analysis of feminine social roles, including the beautiful woman, the businesswoman, the happy woman, the sex symbol, and the wife-mother, is presented. The social roles and stereotypes of femininity in the literary almanac «Kurier Kryvbasu» are interpreted according to the classification of G. Kovalova and V. Danilyan. Conclusions. In the almanac «Kurier Kryvbasu», entrenched perceptions regarding women’s model appearance, their frivolity and accessibility, professional inferiority, sexual objectification, competent housekeeping, maternal duties, and the pursuit of illusory «female happiness» in the form of marriage, family, and children are used. However, a trend of feminist rise is observed, where the pages of the magazine describe women’s career successes, self-actualization, participation in military actions, etc. Significance. The analysis of gender stereotypes, both femininity and masculinity, in Ukrainian literary-artistic periodicals is important for the development of the contemporary media sphere, as such research will encourage editorial teams to direct media content towards gender balance and gender equality. Key words: gender stereotypes, social role, femininity, journal, literary magazine, media text.

Full textAbstract:
In this thoroughly researched, skillfully written thesis, the author explores young women’s dis/identifications with feminism, and dis/articulations of feminism, within contemporary Aotearoa/New Zealand. The premise of the research is that whilst many young women value the work of the early feminists in terms of gender equality and individual freedom for themselves, only a small number position themselves as feminist. Indeed, the author identified research with young women in the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and Canada which supported this premise. Comparative research on young women’s identifications with feminism in Aotearoa/New Zealand, was, however, absent within the literature and this thesis set out to address this gap. Overall, the thesis addresses the New Zealand context with considerable scholarly integrity and depth, demonstrating originality and a well-considered analytical response to the data.

Full textAbstract:
Women migrant domestic workers (WMDWs) constitute 7.7 percent of migrant workers worldwide, of whom more than a quarter live and work in the Arab region. In Lebanon, as in other Arab countries, WMDWs are recruited through the sponsorship system, Kafala. Under this system, a potential migrant worker can only obtain legal residency and a work permit in the country of destination if she is sponsored by a specific employer. Once in the destination country, the worker cannot transfer to a new employer unless granted permission by the original sponsor. The system heightens the social, economic, and legal vulnerability of WMDWs and has been described as unfree or bound labor and a system of racialized servitude. Yet, Kafala is not a written policy but rather a collection of administrative procedures, customary practices, and socially acceptable norms that are maintained by various players throughout the migration process. The question then arises as to whether advocacy efforts that focus on abolishing Kafala as a legal term would mitigate employers’ exploitative practices that violate the workers’ rights and freedoms, particularly in a country like Lebanon. This policy brief is based on a study carried out under the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Work in Freedom project designed to mitigate the exploitation and forced labor of women migrating from South to West Asia to work in the domestic and garment sectors. This brief explores knowledge, awareness and attitudes to Kafala by employers in Lebanon.

Full textAbstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic has had direct and indirect effects on religiously marginalised groups, exacerbating existing inequities and undermining ambitions for those ‘furthest behind’ to be reached and supported through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The intersection of religious identity, socioeconomic status, geographic location, gender, and age compound vulnerability to violence and its impacts. This policy briefing, written by Dr Joanna Howard, Professor Oluwafunmilayo Para-Mallam, Dr Plangsat Bitrus Dayil, and Dr Philip Hayab, draws on research into the experiences of the pandemic by religious minorities living in Kaduna and Plateau states in Nigeria and finds that the pandemic deepened pre-existing ethno-religious fault lines. Exacerbated by ongoing insecurity, it contributed to increased poverty, with women particularly affected, and worsening mental health, with people experiencing fear, frustration, and depression. There are also long-term consequences for development; for example, on children’s education.

Full textAbstract:
“Learning About Sexuality: A Practical Beginning” is divided into three main parts. The first includes approaches that program staff, activists, and researchers are taking to understand people’s experiences of sexuality. The second explores the explicit and implicit links among health-seeking behavior, contraceptive practice, reproductive health, and sexuality. The chapters in part three focus on activities that challenge entrenched attitudes and behavior about sexuality that have real and potentially harmful effects on women’s and men’s reproductive health. The book features program and research work in all regions of the world with women, men, girls, and boys. The chapters are written by authors from over a dozen countries, with over half the contributions coming from developing countries. Collectively, these chapters represent an exploration of the relationship of sexuality to reproductive health, contraceptive practice, and overall well-being. For all their variety of place, approach, and focus, a number of common themes emerge.

Full textAbstract:
This Poverty and Equity Assessment aims to inform efforts to reduce poverty and inequality at what could be an important turning point for Suriname. The assessment was written as Suriname was gradually emerging from a severe macro-fiscal crisis. After the implementation of stringent reforms, the economy is now showing signs of recovery and Suriname is turning attention to longer-term priorities. The analysis provides insight into the characteristics of poverty and inequality in Suriname and opportunities to address them. The picture that emerges is one of human capital deficiencies at the heart of poverty and inequality and historical inequities still driving patterns of poverty and inequality. However, the current situation also represents a significant opportunity to reduce poverty and inequality through improvements in education outcomes, better connection of labor supply and demand, increased access to economic opportunities for women, and improvements in social assistance. It is our hope that this assessment will contribute to Suriname seizing these opportunities.

Full textAbstract:
The scientific research considers and analyzes the epistolary heritage of Olena Teliha. Excerpts from her correspondence are presented, which testify to the formation of a brilliant woman, a creative personality who played an extremely important role in the struggle for the formation of Ukrainian statehood. It is from the letters that we learn that for her letters are almost an ideal way of communication. The epistolary heritage of Olena Teliha allows us to reveal the vision of the main processes in her personal life against the background of the general historical discourse. In addition, the main communicative visions that determine her creative personality are highlighted: communicative vision of friendship, love, creation of literary talent, perseverance and strength, resistance to rejection. Attention is focused on the importance of studying and researching the epistolary heritage of creative personalities in the context of social communications. From the quoted letters, which are distinguished by their sincerity and accuracy of expression, it is possible to determine and formulate what positions and ideas the civic activist, poet and publicist adhered to. In addition, we can see the line of consistency in the formation of a creative personality who not only lives and writes, but acts – creates history, its moment, the value of which is felt and understood by future generations. It is found that the life path in its interconnection with historical circumstances and social environment influenced the formation of the creative personality of the genius poet and publicist. The peculiarities of the epistolary of Olena Teliha are determined by the circumstances, people and personalities that she had to face in life. The promising areas of research are the letters of Olena Teliha, which are in the archives of other countries and the allocation of journalistic and documentary aspects of her epistolary heritage. Keywords: epistolary heritage, letters, public figure, journalism, creative personality.
