"Czerwone Ewy". Sowiecka emancypacja na łamach polskiej prasy międzywojennej (rozpoznanie wstępne)

The paper surveys the figures and images of the Russian women reproduced in the Polish interwar press discourse. It is an attempt to reinterpret the meanings of the images by deconstructing the gender stereotypes that deform them. The assessment analysis of the emancipation in the Soviet Union re - corded in the Polish interwar press concentrates on describing the phenomenon of emancipation through work and through adopting the male roles, e.g . military ones, by the Russian women. In this manner, the Polish-Russian cultural contacts are distorted as being entangled into the Polish models of gender roles and the ideas of Polish identity supporting the roles, deformed by the male version of the Polish national canon, as well as patriarchal social order based on interrelation of power, strength and violence. 69
