The enlightenment feminism in Russian practice: the experience of social female activists in Pyatigorsk
The article analyzes the activities of the representatives of the pre-revolutionary women's social movement in the resort city of Pyatigorsk within the framework of the author's concept of the enlightenment feminism. The participants in the pre-revolutionary women's social movement were buried at the Pyatigorsk Necropolis. The study of their activities seems to be topical due to the modern identity crisis as an example of realizing one's own utility potential and revealing oneself as a free and active person according to the theory of passionarity. In the context of the enlightenment feminism, implemented by the representatives of the women's social movement, it is possible not only to explore the new social roles of women, but also to determine in the historical aspect which new social roles could be viewed by a woman as her new field of activity from the 1880s to the 1910s. On the other hand, the Pyatigorsk Necropolis, where for the most part there are burials of social activists of this region, is one of the objects that are important for studying the activities of the enlightenment feminism. Measures aimed at restoring the necropolis as part of the cultural and mental heritage of the region are becoming one of the brightest activities of the modern women's social movement and volunteers.
