Gender and Revolution in Ukraine: Women’s Participation in Euromaidan Protests of 2013–2014 / Tamara Martsenyuk // Perspectives on Europe. - 2014. - Vol. 44, Issue 2. - Р. 15-22.2165-8447https://ekmair.ukma.edu.ua/handle/123456789/33267The recent events in central Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, both triumphant and tragic, have become famous as a so-called "Euro Revolution", better known as "Euromaidan." Protests by Ukrainian citizens against their government commenced in November 2013 (when President Yanukovych announced a decision to turn Ukraine away from the European Union) and continued for about three months (even after the Yanukovych regime had fallen). Unlike previous "revolutions," the "Revolution on Granite" of 1989–1991 and "the Orange Revolution" of 2004, "the Euromaidan revolution" was marked by – as was visible in the media and public discourses – diverse women’s participation, through which women challenged traditional gender roles and reclaimed visibility, recognition, and respect as revolutionaries. Female volunteers at Euromaidan were helping protesters under threat of their own lives.engenderEuro RevolutionEuromaidangender-based stereotypesfeminismarticleArticle
