survived to this day. Viewing these relics of material culture through
women's stories about the turmoil of the 20th century, authors locate these
remnants of the past within a truly contemporary narrative about women's
lives and creativity.
Languages: Russian and Belarusian with English abstracts.
Editor: Elena Gapova.

European Humanities University - International, 2005.
About the series: "Women of Belarus: a Social History" is a Center for
Gender Studies at EHU project, started in 2000 and aiming to visualize a
social history of the borderlands by re-discovering the topics and stories
which so far have been at the margins of the region's history. Bringing to
light old photos or posters, unpublished documents, private letters and
pieces of material culture, the series' researchers and authors show them AS
history.
