Sex Work in Russia weaves together a wide range of materials to
examine the figure of the female sex worker in Russia from the
early twentieth century to the present day. This book offers
readers both an expansive and nuanced discussion of the
significance of this archetypal female who appears with remarkable
frequency in literature, film, and other cultural productions.
Emily Schuckman Matthews explores the ways in which the fictional
sex worker (and her real-life counterpart) has become a symbolic
representative of social and moral instability, economic
volatility, political, social, and ideological revolutions, and
changing concepts of gender, sexuality, and the nation itself.
Focus is given to the movement of the female sex worker from
marginal foil to a hero in her own right, even finding a voice of
her own in recent years. Works featuring this alluring and complex
figure reveal critical insights into the changing position of women
and other marginalized people in a volatile Russia.
