A comprehensive resource profiling individuals and organizations
associated with Russian women's movements from the early 19th
century to the post-Soviet era. Contributions by approximately
fifty authors from the United States, Russia, Europe, and Canada
focus upon the struggle of women to change their society and
advance their gender interests. Women activists pursued improvement
in educational opportunities, fought for suffrage, established
journals, and sought to transform women's consciousness and
establish women's studies programs and women's crises centers. They
were a strong voice against the tsarist regime and the oppression
of communism. Their objectives were as diverse as their strategies,
which ranged from incremental reform, to terrorism, to the
establishment of women's electoral organizations.
This volume contains a comprehensive glossary of term and
phrases and a chronology to help put events and developments into
historical context. Entries are fully cross-referenced and are
followed by suggested readings. This book will be of interest to
students and scholars of Russian history and politics, women's
history and gender studies.
