Women in the Stalin Era

This book brings together a collection of essays by Western scholars about women in the era of Stalin. It explores both the realities of women's experience in the 1930s and 1940s, and the various forms in which womanhood and feminity were represented and constructed in these decades. This book challenges the scholarly neglect which women's history has suffered at the hands and pens of Russian and Western historians of the Stalin period.Ilic, Melanie is the author of 'Women in the Stalin Era', published 2002 under ISBN 9780333779309 and ISBN 0333779304.
