recommendations for texts on Russian Women

[Michael Denner]

Dear Francoise,

There's a very recent & fairly engaging article entitled "Domestic
Involution: How Women Organize Survival in a North Russia City" in the
collection of essays _Russia in the New Century_  published by Westview. It
offers a sociological perspective and lots of interesting anecdotes and
depressing statistics about women in Russia.

I think it was written within the last year or so, and would be very
topical.

Subject: recommendations for texts on Russian Women


Kollegi:
It has been two years since I last taught my course on Women in
Russian Culture, and I could use some specific recommendations about
newer books. I've used combinations of various books and several articles
in the past.
We explore, among others: women writers, women in politics, literature
on the "woman question," and women in the arts, esp. Nijinska and women
of the Avant-Garde.
I know what I want to order for the arts portion, but I would welcome
opinions on the following:

*your favorite/most useful anthology --older or recent-- of literary
texts by Russian women.
*any favorite/most useful anthology or text on Russian women in general,
in politics, history, the arts etc.

Thank you for your help.
