History and profile[]
Zhenskii vestnik was established by a Russian feminist Mariia Ivanovna Pokrovskaia in 1904.[2][3] It was published on a monthly basis.[1] Until 1907 the magazine of which both editor and publisher was Pokrovskaia acted as the official organ of the Union of Women.[1][3] In each issue of the magazine the recurring topics included: women must have less expectations from men; in the struggle for their emancipation women should not rely on man and women pursue their interests independent of any political movement led by men.[3] Pokrovskaia also express her belief in women’s natural superiority to men in her articles.[3] Some of the major contributors were Ariadna Tyrkova, Liubov Gurevich, Mariia Chekhova, Anna Miliukova[3] and Anna Kalmanovich.[1] The magazine folded in 1917.[1]
