BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

Tatyana Mamonova, the founder of the modern Russian women’s movement, is an internationally renowned democratic women’s leader, author, poet, journalist, videographer, artist, editor and public lecturer. 

 

She was the first feminist dissident exiled from the former Soviet Union in 1980 for re-igniting the Russian women’s movement, initiating her organization, then called Woman and Russia, the first NGO promoting the human rights of women from the Soviet Union and connecting Russian speaking women’s voices and needs with the international community, and editing and publishing the samizdat Woman and Russia Almanac, now called Woman and Earth Almanac, an art and literary journal containing the first collection of Soviet feminist writings, which has now been published in 11 languages and in over 22 countries. In the year of her exile she was awarded Woman of the Year 1980 honors by F Magazine Paris for her leadership.

 

Prior to her exile from Russia, she was the first woman organizer and exhibitor in the non-conformist artist movement in Russia and a literary and television journalist with Aurora Publishers (working alongside Josef Brodsky) and Leningrad Television.

 

Ms. Mamonova was invited by the Ford Foundation in NY for a meeting and round-table discussion by leading executives from the foundation shortly after her exile and she received the highest praises from Ford Foundation’s executives for her intelligence, leadership and courage.

 

 

Since her exile, in addition to continuing to edit and publish her Almanac and two additional Woman and Earth publications: Succes d’estime (since 2001) and Fotoalbum: Around the World (since 2005), and to lead and expand her organization, she has authored four books in the United States, as well as hundreds of articles and travelogues for journals, magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times, lectured in hundreds of universities and for public organizations in the US and throughout the world including participating in a national lecture tour with Ms. Magazine, and tours of Africa, Australia, Japan, US, India, South America, Scandinavia, France, Germany, Holland, Italy and Greece with support from Amnesty International, Alliance Francais, Parliaments and labour and non-governmental organizations. She also exhibited in more than 20 countries and sold her award-winning art, many times donating proceeds to benefit her NGO. She is also Executive Producer of a weekly educational television series in Manhattan which received a Community Media Award in 2001.

 

She is a former post-doctoral fellow with Harvard University’s Bunting Institute, a member of Pen International, the Russia representative to the Sisterhood is Global Institute, and has been the subject of documentary films, books, and all forms of media coverage from every leading medium including CBS Evening News with Morton Dean, The International Herald Tribune, The  New York Times and BBC.


 

In 1998 she was awarded “Famous Poet 1998” by the National Poets Society of Hollywood, CA, USA and received the “100 Heroines Award” for her leadership and contributions to women’s equality worldwide. In 2000, she was selected for inclusion in the book, exhibition and web project WOMANKIND, recognizing the contributions of leading women activists throughout the world that is being documented by two leading Canadian journalists. In 2001, she was selected for inclusion in the PROMINENT REFUGEES DIRECTORY, published by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees in Geneva, Switzerland. Her most recent honor is being selected by The Women’s International Center to receive the LIVING LEGACY 2002 Award on March 9, 2002 in San Diego, California. Prior recipients of the Living Legacy Award include Senator Hillary Clinton and Mother Theresa.  In 2005, Tatyana re-established a permanent base in the center of her native St. Petersburg, Russia and has led a series of Seminars at leading venues in the city to contribute to a positive future with strong female leadership in Russia. In January 2006, her human rights case, which remains unresolved, was selected to be heard amongst the 10 finalists at the 17th International Human Rights Competition in Caen. In December 2007, Tatyana received the prestigious HEART OF DANKO AWARD by a leading Moscow and St. Petersburg based cultural organization and in 2008, Tatyana was honored for a second time in her illustrious career as WOMAN OF THE YEAR from a leading Russian organization.
