Women in the Khrushchev Era Reviews

'This collection vividly illustrates these fortunes in 11 well integrated chapters that offer a fascinating introduction to the subject'. - Dan Healey, European History Quarterly

'These eleven tightly argued chapters go a considerable way to remedy the neglect of both women's experience and the gendered nature of Khrushchev's rule. It is an admirably coherent collection which should encourage further research.' - Jane McDermid, The Slavonic and East European Review
