Women play a prominent role in pro-democracy movements and contemporary revolutions around the globe. The book discussed at this event proposes an original typology of such participation, using the case of the 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity (Euromaidan) in Ukraine.
Examining the Ukraine case, the book illustrates a hybrid model of women’s participation in a contemporary revolution. Drawing on data from large-N surveys and oral history projects, the book uncovers various motivations for women’s involvement, identifies diverse forms of women’s participation, and traces the multifaceted outcomes of women’s activism. The book builds upon and contributes to the literature of contentious politics by elucidating patterns of women’s participation in a contemporary revolution. In addition, the book improves our understanding of the sources of Ukraine’s fierce resistance to Russia’s invasion and the role of Ukrainian women in the struggle for national independence and democratic development.
