"This collection offers a treasure trove of primary sources of
interest to students of women's history. Carefully introduced and
annotated, these documents illustrate the diversity of Russian
women's lives." Barbara Alpern Engel
"There is no other work that offers such a wide variety of
documents and such a successful combination of literary and
historical materials." Ann Hibner Koblitz
This rich anthology of source materials makes available for the
first time in any language a multitude of primary sources on the
lives of Russian women from the reign of Peter the Great to the
Bolshevik revolution. The selections are drawn from a wide variety
of documents, published and unpublished, including memoirs,
diaries, legal codes, correspondence, short fiction, poetry,
ethnographic observations, and folklore. Primacy is given to
sources produced by women and previously unavailable in English
translation. Organized thematically, the documents focus on women s
family life, work and schooling, public activism, creative
self-expression, and sexuality and spirituality, as well as on the
cultural ideals and legal framework which constrained women of all
social classes."
