Season 2 | Ep 26 | The Mayoress | A Russian Folktale

Folktales are unkind to women and female characters. You cannot pick up a folktale to tell without passing it through the gender lens. At the face of it, this is a story that I wouldn't tell. But today I am. There are many things about this story that's disturbing. I have included it in this podcast, just because it IS an important story that we should listen and talk about. Here are a few links that will help you bridge meaningful conversations around Women's Rights, Gender, Politics and Inclusion. **** Women's History in 3 MinsWomen's Rights in Russia (Since its a Russian Story) Read: 10 Indian Women Who were the first to do what they did | Shruthi Raoย Lady DoctorsDr Elizabeth BlackwellWomen Leaders in the Grassroots Levelsย Women in PeacekeepingWomen make Better LeadersWomen Leaders*****๐™‚๐™ค๐™ก๐™ฅ๐™ค: ๐™Ž๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ž๐™š๐™จ ๐™›๐™ง๐™ค๐™ข ๐˜ผ๐™ง๐™ค๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™’๐™ค๐™ง๐™ก๐™™ ๐™ž๐™จ ๐™– ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ก๐™ก๐™š๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™ค๐™› ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ž๐™š๐™จ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™˜๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™—๐™š ๐™จ๐™๐™–๐™ง๐™š๐™™ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฎ๐™ฌ๐™๐™š๐™ง๐™š, ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐˜พ๐™ก๐™–๐™จ๐™จ๐™ง๐™ค๐™ค๐™ข, ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™‡๐™ž๐™ซ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™๐™ค๐™ค๐™ข ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐˜ฝ๐™ค๐™–๐™ง๐™™๐™ง๐™ค๐™ค๐™ข. ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ž๐™š๐™จ ๐™–๐™ง๐™š ๐™ข๐™š๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ž๐™œ๐™œ๐™š๐™ง ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ซ๐™š๐™ง๐™จ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐™–๐™ข๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™จ๐™ฉ ๐™ฅ๐™š๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™š.Story Sourceย | Russian Fairy Tales, Translated by Norbert GutermanTo know more about my work, visit my website |ย Your Story BagIf you a Teacher looking to learn about Story Pedagogy join us in our mission Spark Classrooms, The Storied WayIf you like this podcast & want to support our work, you couldย Gift-a-Storyย and help us make Storytelling sustainable.Book a Discovery Callย with me, to know more about how I can help you tell better stories in business, life and work.

Om Podcasten

Golpo is the Bengali word for stories. It is a curious little word, both a verb and a noun at the same time. As a child Rituparna would insist on two stories and two songs every night. She would pretend to go off to sleep testing her parents to see if they'd finish the story they started to tell. When her grandmother told her stories she would kick her legs in the air fighting sleep before it wrapped her in. Golpo, the joy of oral storytelling returned to Rituparna's life as a mother. From a visual storyteller she discovered the magic of the spoken word all over again. Now a Performance Storyteller, Trainer, Consultant & Coach Rituparna is the Founder of ** *Your Story Bag* ( http://www.yourstorybag.com ) *.* Rituparna believes that stories bridge people & telling stories creates a shared experience. So whether you listen to these stories in the classroom, boardroom or living room, each of these stories will trigger conversations amongst people. Go ahead & try it out...
