Echoes of the European Feminist Movement of the 19th Century in the Works of Georgian Classics

Abstract

The 19th-century national public figures were concerned about the lack of rights for women, and as a result, Georgia became a fruitful ground for the European feminist movement. Feminist writers are considered Akaki, Ilia, Vazha, Kazbegi, Nikoladze, and Gogebashvili. Their writings frequently address women's rights, and many of their theses explicitly encourage readers to join the feminist movement.
Despite being surrounded by the Muslim world, little Georgia, has actively participated in international events and consistently demonstrated that it is not a closed and enslaved country, but rather an integral part of European civilization.
