Abstract:
The aim of the article was to
study different scientific approaches and
methods of studying the problems of
women’s everyday life in international
historiography. In order to achieve the
goal, a comparative analysis of studies on
the history of women’s everyday life,
which were published in different
countries of the world, was carried out, as
well as the themes of works and
approaches used by scholars to study the
topic. In the course of the research, it was
established that the history of everyday
life as a separate direction in
historiography emerged in the twentieth
century under the influence of French
historians representing the “School of
Annals” – Marc Bloch, Lucien Febvre,
Fernand Braudel. When studying the
history of women’s everyday life,
researchers consider environmental
factors, the natural and geographical
characteristics of the area where the
women under study lived, their social
environment, everyday objects, and the
historical context, which includes the
socio-political situation at a certain time.
In contemporary international
historiography, among the studies devoted
to the history of women’s everyday life,
the works that cover women’s everyday
life in the conditions of overcoming
difficulties are predominant. Also,
common themes are those that cover the
process of women’s emancipation,
women’s struggle for equal rights with
men and, as a result, changes in women’s
everyday life in the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries.
