Creating the New Soviet Woman: Women's Magazines as Engineers of Female Identity, 1922-53 - Hardcover

by L. Attwood (Author)

This book explores the Soviet attempt to propagandise the 'new Soviet woman' through the magazines Rabotnitsa and Krest'yanka from the 1920s to the end of the Stalin era. Balancing work and family did not prove easy in a climate of shifting economic and demographic priorities, and the book charts the periodic changes made to the model.
