To Dorothea Gieselman and the Seelangovtsy list
In response to Dorothea's questions about bibliographic sources for
women's studies, here are some reference works which may be useful.
The focus of this list is on Russia, not all Slavic or East- European
or Eurasian nations: publications covering Eastern / Central /
Southern Europe are omitted unless their coverage includes Medieval
Rus', the Russian Empire, USSR, and/or the Russian Federation.
Materials denoted are of various generations and viewpoints, including
some that are quite traditionalist.
Entries are listed under broad subject headings, with
subarrangement chronologically by date of coverage or publication.
This list has been extracted and reformatted from a larger
general database of reference works for Russian studies (currently ca.
6000 records), which is being prepared for publication and possible
internet accessability. ?2000, H.M. Olmsted
I will be grateful for comments and suggestions.
Special thanks to June Pachuta Farris at the Univ. of Chicago for
current information about the bibliographic efforts of AWSS, the
Association of Women in Slavic Studies (see entries under Farris J.P.,
Livezeanu I., and Zirin M. in the GENERAL BIBLIOGRAPHY section below).
