Abstract:
Gender issues, especially women political and social rights, are the most
interesting in publications of the “Tergdaleulebi” (the Georgian political and
literary figures in the second half of the 19th c.).
The gender issues are presented in the articles by Ilia Chavchavadze,
Akaki Tsereteli, Giorgi Tsereteli, Niko Nikoladze, Vaja-Pshavela. Ilia
Chavchavadze’s journalistic heritage is of special interest.
Main goal of the Georgian publicistics was to introduce an essence of
women’s emancipation in Europe to the Georgian society, to show the parallels
with the Georgian reality and to make those ideas popular.
