This talk will present ongoing research on the life and work of Yekaterina Bahaturian (1870-1944) who grew up in Shushi, then a provincial center of the Russian Empire. Having subsequently lived in three major colonial and later Soviet Trans-Caucasian capitals - Yerevan, Tiflis, and Baku - Bahaturian established herself as a recognized female writer whose life and career were marked by drastic political and social changes. With a mostly unpublished oeuvre of more than one hundred plays, novels, essays, and memoirs, Bahaturian created a literary world where women play central roles in exploring themes of identity, gender, and power. Through a glimpse into Bahaturian's life and work, the talk will reflect on how women writers positioned themselves and their writing within the broader context of social revolutions and wars that shaped the course of the twentieth century.
