This volume considers the position of women in the post-Soviet
states of the former USSR. It is divided into two main parts: the
first focuses on the economy, society and polity of the Russian
Federation; the second gives insights into social, political,
economic and military developments in the other republics of the
former Soviet Union. The book pays special attention to womens' own
perceptions of their lives. How do factory workers, street vendors
and rural workers view their jobs? How do the women who served in
Afghanistan, migrants, politicians, political activists, soldiers
mothers and feminists portray their worlds. What strategies of
coping have women devised to deal with no electricity in Armenia,
with unwelcome sexual advances from fathers-in-law and with
violence from partners in Russia? Why did women in Georgia travel
on a peace train? How has war affected lives in the Caucasus and in
Central Asia? This book explores strategies of coping and forms of
adaptation, noting that women are agents, as well as victims.
