Gender Issue in the Middle East according to the Publications Published in Georgian Press of the Beginning of XX Century

Abstract

Since the 70s of the 19th century, the Georgian press has actively focused on the events taking place in the Middle East, the interest in which has not slowed down even at the beginning of the twentieth century. On the contrary, the dynamic development of political processes in this region aroused and deepened the interest of the Georgian society even more, as evidenced by the frequency and diversity of published publications. Among the many interesting issues that are presented in these correspondences, the gender problem has an important place.
20th century In the Georgian press of the beginning, the tendency to bring "women's issues" to the forefront and to actively discuss them is clearly visible. Naturally, when discussing the good and bad of the Middle East, focusing on the mentioned issues would not be less interesting for the Georgian society at that time. It is thanks to this interest that we will get important information, through which it is possible to study the situation in the region in terms of gender in the mentioned period. Our present article aims to present this situation in a clear way.
We think that the collage of viewpoints on gender issues by different authors: Yase Rachveli, Arthur Laist, Davit Chikovani, Gerasime Nadareishvili and others, seen from different perspectives and presented in correspondences, will attract the attention of both specialists working on gender issues and the general public interested in the Georgian press of that time.
