Routledge Women and Transformation in Russia History Book

Explore the history of Russian women through two major periods of change. This book from the Routledge Studies in the History of Russia and Eastern Europe series examines how women mobilized and exercised agency during the turn of the 19th-20th century and the 20th-21st century. By looking at the parallels between these two great transformations, the text identifies both continuities and breaks in history. It provides a unique perspective by focusing on the grassroots level and the local factor, rather than just top-down political movements. Readers will gain an understanding of the international and transnational aspects of Russian women's agency across different spheres and historical periods. This scholarly work is designed to raise new research questions regarding the role of women in society. It is an essential resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the sociology and anthropology of Eastern Europe.
