Post-Soviet Women: From the Baltic to Central Asia
by: Mary Buckley (Editor)

Softcover. UK, Cambridge University Press, 1st, 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 316 pages. How have women's lives changed in the republics of the former Soviet Union since the fall of the USSR? This is the first book systematically to examine changes and continuities across these states, focusing on women and work, social roles and women in politics. Drawing on interviews with women in factories, on farms and with women street-sellers, politicians and activists, the book questions whether women are "victims" or "agents" of change, and describes various strategies of coping and adaptation to new economic and social instabilities.
