Russian Women and their Organizations
Palgrave Macmillan (Verlag)
978-0-333-76546-3 (ISBN)
Grassroots Russian women's organizations faced multiple challenges in the early 1990s. Like their members, they were confronted with both potentially hostile attitudes and numerous practical difficulties. Post-Soviet ideologies of gender difference produced a gender climate which was particularly unsympathetic to female activism in support of other women. This book presents a detailed study of grassroots Russian women's organizations in 1991-96, against the background of a careful analysis of gender relations and attitudes to women's place in post-Soviet Russian society.
Rebecca Kay is Lecturer at the Center for Russian and East European Studies at the University of Birmingham.
