The selections are drawn from a wide variety of documents, published and unpublished, including memoirs, diaries, legal codes, correspondence, short fiction, poetry, ethnographic observations, and folklore. Primacy is given to sources produced by women and previously unavailable in English translation. Organized thematically, the documents focus on women's family life, work and schooling, public activism, creative self-expression, and sexuality and spirituality, as well as on the cultural ideals and legal framework which constrained women of all social classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER I: Defining Ideals\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER II: Family Life\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER III: Sexuality\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER IV: Work and Schooling\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER V: Religion, Piety, and Spiritual Life\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER VI: Opposition and Activism\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Suggested Readings in English\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685391266072,"sku":"9780253215239","price":23.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/russian-women-1698-1917-experience-and-expression-an-anthology-of-sources-paperback-softback-9780253215239","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
