Abstract
The EuroMaidan protests that took place in Ukraine in 2013–2014 have greatly
influenced public opinion, media, and politics. Women actively participated
in these events – not just as "supporters" but also as "makers" of revolution.
Still, the position of women in Ukrainian society is all but clear. Are there institutional
mechanisms for gender equality that allow women to be publicly "visible" –
as decision-makers and activists? How has the participation of women in the
EuroMaidan protests been viewed? Are revolutions with nationalist themes
necessarily patriarchal – or is it possible for women to participate on an equal footing?
