Nordic Girlhoods

Abstract

In her Outlook essay, Olga Zdravomyslova is focusing on the conceptions of normative femininities and norms regarding family in constructing Nordic girlhood as well as the role of Nordic welfare state practicing the empowering for girls.

From this point of view, the results of a Swedish—Russian survey of girl students and some tendencies of modern Russian family policy are considered from a comparative perspective.
