08.01.2026: EMERGE: from „the woman question“ to women’s movement (1855\u20131863)<\/p>\n

About<\/strong> This series tells the story of how women in the Russian Empire moved from near-invisibility in public life to visible, consequential agency in just a few decades. We follow the activists who built charities, publishing ventures, schools, petition campaigns, and finally underground networks. Along the way we trace how a women-led civic sphere confronted both patriarchy and autocracy, often under censorship and police surveillance.
\nThe course is grounded in fresh archival research and a clear conceptual frame: Nancy Fraser\u2019s idea of counterpublics and Ulrich Beck\u2019s account of metamorphosis help explain how power grows in constrained spaces and then changes the rules of the game.<\/p>\n

Why now?<\/strong> A fact-based narrative of effective resistance is urgently needed in an era of right-wing backlash and democratic fatigue. The project this course draws on was conceived as exactly that: a readable, evidence-rich account that restores women to the centre of Russian modern history. It also speaks to the present. Today\u2019s Feminist Anti-War Resistance, operating under anonymity and threat of long prison terms, mirrors the survival strategies of nineteenth-century women who wrote without bylines and organized in the shadows. Remembering earlier victories and mistakes is a civic resource, not a luxury.
\nVienna is a fitting place to host this conversation. In the Habsburg capital, a Women\u2019s Employment Association formed in 1866, part of a synchronous European surge that included St. Petersburg\u2019s Women\u2019s Publishing Cooperative in 1863 and London\u2019s Society for Promoting the Employment of Women. Our meetings will make these cross-border echoes audible.<\/p>\n
