Contents Summary

Series: Gender Montage. “The Beauty of the Fatherland” presents the story of two matriarchs. Tiina Jantson governs the Estonian empire of mini-misses and missises, Anne Eepalu is the commander-in-chief of the military-patriotic children's organization. The protagonists are very different from each other. While Anne's work with children is based on unconditional patriotism, Tiina inhabits the glamorous world of showbiz. But they both have something in common... “The Beauty of the Fatherland” examines the values, gender roles and moral standards in Estonia at the beginning of the 21st century.
