Modern Russian Feminism DVD

[Beth Holmgren]

Dear colleagues,

For those of you who wrote me about this DVD, I want to let you know
that it is now available through Indiana University Press.  The
booklet providing "a very short course on Russian women's history"
also includes study questions and a selected bibliography.  Here's the
information:

RUSSIAN FEMINISM: TWENTY YEARS FORWARD
Written and produced by Beth Holmgren
Directed by Igor Sopronenko

This 35-minute DVD portrays how Russians and Americans collaborated in
reviving women's activism in the USSR and post-Soviet Russia and in
creating Russian women's studies on both sides of the ocean. The film
is based on interviews with 18 experts who were engaged in this
project, including activists and scholars. Participants assess the
project's successes and failures since the days of glasnost and
discuss the stiff challenges that Russian feminists face in the
Putin-Medvedev era. An accompanying booklet with a short summary of
Russian women's history contextualizes the film.
