Abstract
Todor Kusev (b. 1838 Prilep, d. 1922 Stara Zagora, Bulgaria) is the
author of several works, letters, speeches, books. This paper’s interest is
focused on Kusevich’s manuscript Women’s Equality, published as a separate
booklet in 1912. In this work, Kusevich, sharply, with irony and mocking
commentaries and examples, accuses women of undermining the existing
social order by weakening their defense mechanisms, thus enabling enemies
to conquer them. Women, demanding equality with men, opposed the laws
of nature. The publication of the brochure was followed by an article,
Equality according the Metropolitan Metodij of Stara Zagora, signed by a
female author with the initials Sl. D-va, published in the magazine Woman's
Voice. The author expresses her doubts of Metropolitan Methodius’ sincere
intentions to present women’s issues properly. Having in mind that in the
19th century there were not many known cases of Macedonian authors
writing, particularly on the topic of "women’s issues," this paper sets to
explore the said manuscript as a template speaking closely to the mindset of
Macedonian men, as well as Balkan men in general, particularly the clergy of
the period, towards women.
