Історіографічний аспект дослідження ролі жінок – учасниць державотворення періоду Української революції

Abstract

The article examines the state of research on the role of women as participants in the state-forming process of the period of the Ukrainian Revolution, covering the period of 1917–1921. The main works of researchers of the Soviet period, independent Ukraine and the work of authors of the diaspora are outlined. The article analyzes which global and domestic processes influenced one or another type of research. The demands of the time require a deeper consideration of the aspects of interaction between women and political institutions. For a long time in the domestic historical science, this issue has been ignored by historians because of ideological reasons. Isolated attempts to appeal to the participation of women in the events of 1917–1921 were also observed in Soviet times, but this was covered only from the position of communist ideology. Diaspora scholars approached such topics more unbiased, although they did not have a complete documentary base. It should be noted that in modern historical science there is an intensification of research in the direction of women’s studios. Only during the independence of Ukraine, through the prism of numerous sources and documents, a more objective and impartial study of both the era of the Ukrainian Revolution and its aspect such as the role of women in that process it became possible. Based on the analysis of historiography on this topic, a conclusion is made about the state and prospects of research on the role of women in the events of this time.
