Eve's Ribs (Russian: Рёбра Евы) is an annual feminist festival and collective in Saint Petersburg. The festival's coordinator is the theatre director and activist Vera Boitcova.[1] The collective also maintains a center, hosting lectures, exhibitions and other themed evenings throughout the year.[2]

In 2019 police turned up at the festival, after a complaint by anti-gay activist Timur Bulatov, and insisted on monitoring the presence of minors at the festival.[3]

The Eve's Rib building hosts a women-only coworking space throughout the day.[2] The collective has also published two books of fairytales, 'Fairytales for Girls'.[1]
