Summary:

"This volume brings together scholars from Russia, Great Britain, and North America to examine women's experiences and changing gender norms during Russia's crisis years from the outbreak of war in 1914 to the early 1920s. Looking beyond rhetoric about women's wartime service and ideological proclamations of emancipation, the authors seek to understand how years of military combat, political upheaval, and social transformation affected lives and redefined concepts of citizenship, patriotism, and gender"-- Provided by publisher.
