From the first timid attempts to make the position of women a little more tolerable to the uncompromising struggle for social and political equality, Irina Yukina’s book traces the history of the Russian women’s movement from its inception in the mid-30th century to the XNUMXs of the XNUMXth century. Exploring the most striking stages in the activities of Russian feminists, the author shows how the attitude towards women has evolved in our country. Today’s reader, who habitually enjoys all the benefits of gender equality, will be curious to know to whom exactly she owes her freedom — from spontaneous rebels (such as Sofya Kovalevskaya or Vera Figner) to participants in the large-scale women’s movement of the first Soviet years.
