By writing of Ukrainian national identity from a woman-centered perspective, female authors from the last Soviet generation established themselves as authoritative critics of their culture and paved the way to visibility and success for their younger female literary peers.
This study analyzes history as performance: as the interaction of actors, plays, stages and enactments. By this, it examines women’s politics in Habsburg Galicia around 1900: a Polish woman active in the peasant movement, a Ukrainian feminist, and a Jewish Zionist. It shows how the movements constructed essentialistically regarded collectives, experience as a medially comprehensible form of credibility, and a historically based inevitability of change, and legitimized participation and intervention through social policy and educational practices. Traits shared by the movements included the claim to interpretive sovereignty, the ritualization of participation, and the establishment of truths about past and future.
Am Beispiel dreier Frauen – einer Aktivistin der polnischen Bauernbewegung, einer ruthenischen Feministin und einer Zionistin – analysiert die Studie politische Bewegungen in Galizien um 1900 als Performance, als Zusammenspiel von Mitwirkenden, Stücken, Bühnen und Auftritten.

So gelang es ihnen, diese »identity politics« bis in die Narrative der heutigen Geschichtswissenschaft hinein zu etablieren.
