By Nina Nikolaevna Selivanova

Book Overview

"Russia's Women" is a comprehensive historical survey exploring the roles, struggles, and triumphs of women in Russia from the early days of the nation's formation through the early 20th century. Written by Nina Nikolaevna Selivanova, this work provides a detailed analysis of how social, political, and cultural shifts influenced the lives of Russian women across different classes.

The narrative delves into the lives of influential figures, the impact of the Orthodox Church, and the evolving legal status of women under various monarchs. Particular attention is paid to the awakening of social consciousness and the feminist movement that gained momentum in the years leading up to the Russian Revolution. By examining both domestic lives and public contributions, Selivanova offers a unique perspective on the broader historical development of the Russian Empire and its subsequent transformation.
