- Melanie Ilic’s ground-breaking book is the first academic study in English language to present an in-depth exploration of Soviet women’s daily routines, everyday experiences, attitudes and behaviours. It is based on an extensive and critical reading of a broad range of Soviet women’s narrative testimonies and interview accounts. The book reveals the hidden hierarchies and stratifications of the Soviet Union’s ostensibly egalitarian society, as well as the contradictions between Soviet public proclamations and policy intent set against women’s reception of Soviet policy initiatives and the compromises they made in their working, domestic and private lives.
