This is the first full-length history of Russian peasant women in
the 20th century in English. Filling a significant gap in the
literature on rural studies and gender studies of the twentieth
century Russia, it is the first to take the story into the
twenty-first century. It offers a comprehensive overview of
regulations concerning rural women: their employment patterns;
marriages, divorces and family life; issues with health and raising
children. Rural lives in the Soviet Union were often dramatically
different from the common narrative of the Soviet history, and even
during the Khrushchev "Thaw" in the late 1950s and early 1960s,
rural women were excluded from its reforms and liberating policies.
The author, Luibov Denisova - a leading expert in the field of
rural gender history in Russia - includes material from previously
unavailable or unpublished collections and archives; interviews;
sociological research and oral traditions. Overall, the book is a
history of all rural women, from ordinary farm girls to agrarian
professionals to prostitutes and paints a unique picture of rural
womenaEURO (TM)s life in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia.
