---------- From: Michael Denner <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: recommendations for texts on Russian Women Date: 18 January 2001 21:50 Dear Francoise, There's a very recent & fairly engaging article entitled "Domestic Involution: How Women Organize Survival in a North Russia City" in the collection of essays _Russia in the New Century_ published by Westview. It offers a sociological perspective and lots of interesting anecdotes and depressing statistics about women in Russia. I think it was written within the last year or so, and would be very topical.

I've used combinations of various books and several articles in the past. We explore, among others: women writers, women in politics, literature on the "woman question," and women in the arts, esp. Nijinska and women of the Avant-Garde. I know what I want to order for the arts portion, but I would welcome opinions on the following: *your favorite/most useful anthology --older or recent-- of literary texts by Russian women. *any favorite/most useful anthology or text on Russian women in general, in politics, history, the arts etc. Thank you for your help. -FR Francoise Rosset phone: (508) 286-3696 Department of Russian fax: (508) 286-3640 Wheaton College e-mail: [log in to unmask] Norton, Massachusetts 02766 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use your web browser to search the archives, control your subscription options, and more.
