Combining concepts and methodologies from anthropology, history, linguistics, literature, music, cultural studies, and film studies, this collection of ten original essays addresses issues crucial to gender and national identity in Russia from the October Revolution of 1917 to the present. Collectively, these interdisciplinary essays explore how traditional gender inequities influenced the social processes of nation building in Russia and how men and women responded to those developments. Available in both clothbound and paperback editions, "Gender and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Russian Culture" offers fresh insights to students and scholars in the fields of gender studies, nationhood studies, and Russian history, literature, and culture.
