Gender studies and problems of studying the theme «Woman and war»

Abstract

The article makes an attempt to analyze the methodological problems of studying the research topic «Woman and War» on the example of the participation of Soviet women in the Great Patriotic War. The author concludes that the heroism of women in the war, their everyday military everyday life is little reflected in Soviet and post-Soviet historiography. The obviousness of this situation can be seen when considering the historiography of the Great Patriotic History, in which the woman is present on secondary roles. Change the current situation is possible if you pay attention to modern research approaches that will help to reveal all aspects of the daily life of women in the war years.
