Russian Women in Politics and Society

One of the side-effects of the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union was the near total disruption to the body politic, the customs and laws under which women had evolved in a technically equalitarian society (at least in theory) over some 70 years. "Russian Women In Politics And Society". Each of the scholarly contributions focuses on a significant aspect of the role and position of women in a post-Soviet Russian society. The sections are "Women in Politics: Past and Present"; "The Changing Gender Culture and Women's Place"; "The Fall of the Soviet Union, The Rise of Capitalism, and the Impact on Women"; and "The Changing Constitutions and Women's Human Rights". No serious collection of Russian Studies can be considered complete without the addition of "Russian Women In Politics And Society".Rule, Wilma is the author of 'Russian Women in Politics and Society' with ISBN 9780313293634 and ISBN 0313293635.
