The image of women in Russian culture has undergone profound
changes: from the origins of modern Russian literature in the
eighteenth century until the Revolution of 1917, when women were a
source of fascination for Russian writers, to the socialist realism
period, during which public discussion of the representation of
women in literature rapidly declined and the "woman question" was
declared to have been "resolved," to a reappraisal of the position
of women since the 1980s. This collection of essays by leading
western and Russian specialists contains new insights and updates
previous research into the role of women in Russian culture in the
last two centuries and contributes to two exciting and growing
research areas: the feminist critique of work by Russian male
authors and the study of Russian women writers. Moreover, whereas
most previous studies have concentrated on the aesthetic qualities
of works by women writers, this collection includes both close
textual analysis and the discussion of biographical, historical,
and political questions relating both to the representation of
women and women's culture. The aim is not to present aunified
manifesto, but rather to bring together a spectrum of approaches
and positions within their common focus on the relationship between
women and culture in Russia. Contributors: R. Marsh, A. Barker, J.
