The history of Russian spiritualism has thus far been written from the perspective of its male practitioners. This one-sided approach is largely due to a lack of sources which would allow historians to illuminate the wide-spread participation of women in the move- ment. As a tentative attempt to provide a more repre- sentative account, this article offers a close reading of the mediumistic career of Elizaveta Dmitrievna Pribytkova (as described by her husband), and argu- es that spiritualism offered Russian women a limited forum in which they could express their ambitions and live their fantasies.
This article focuses on the musical activities of one peasant women, E.N. Shniukova, and argues that provincial and otherwise unknown musicians, many of whom were women, played a key role in spreading cultural values and shaping musical life in the early twentieth century. These regional musicians rejected the peripheral position that their location and social position otherwise suggested and proudly viewed their villages as centers of artistic creativity.
