| Title | Saint Petersburg Movement For Women's Education In The Late 1860S-70S: Conflict And Cooperation Between "Aristocrats" And "Nihilists" |
| Summary | This thesis analyses the escalation of conflict inside the Saint Petersburg women’s movement for education in the late 1860s-70s. Through the establishment of temporary assembly deriving from the “Society for Women’s Work” (1864-65) and the “Society for Cheap Accommodation” (established in 1860), “Triumvirate” of Maria Trubnikova, Nadezhda Stasova and Anna Filosofova along with their associates tried to establish the new institution for women’s higher education, the first women’s university. However, since the movement was not homogeneous and included women of different class backgrounds and political views, there was a conflict between noble members, “aristocrats”, who were blamed by radical women for philanthropist attitude towards the beneficiaries of the “Society for Cheap Accommodation” and “nihilists”, women involved in rapidly emerging radical circles, future revolutionary organizations. In particular, the thesis examines the discussion between “aristocrats” and “nihilists” and their conflict during the campaign for women’s higher education (1868), which resulted with separation of radical women, who were dissatisfied with the exclusion of class question, established Alarchin Courses and further preferred to cooperate with the political underground of Saint Petersburg to promote their agenda. |
