Abstract
In her Outlook essay, Olga Zdravomyslova is focusing on the conceptions of normative femininities and norms regarding family in constructing Nordic girlhood as well as the role of Nordic welfare state practicing the empowering for girls. The approach presented in Nordic Girlhoods: New Perspectives and Outlooks gives an impetus to the research on and with girls, and on girlhood in the turbulent Russian context. From this point of view, the results of a Swedish—Russian survey of girl students and some tendencies of modern Russian family policy are considered from a comparative perspective.
