| Title | The Women's Emancipation Movement in Kyrgyzstan: The Work of the Zhenotdel of Kyrgyzstan from 1924 to 1930 |
| Summary | When the Bolsheviks came to power in 1917 as a result of the October Revolution, and when their government expanded over Central Asia during the first decade of the Soviet Union, women’s emancipation was one of the main projects that the state undertook. In Central Asia, this was especially the case, for the Soviets tried to transform and modernize the society, and one of the central means to achieve that goal was the emancipation of women in the region. In Kyrgyzstan, along with the Communist Party and other governmental organizations, the Zhenotdel or Women’s Department played a crucial role in implementing the new legislation and trying to advance the whole emancipation project. This thesis, based on archival research, aims at uncovering the work and experiences of the women of the Women’s Department of Kyrgyzstan from 1924 to 1930. |
