Abstract

Britta Schmitt’s work is not just another book on the current women’s movement in Russia, but offers a rare synthesis of social theory and empirical data analysis and represents an important contribution to the field of gender studies. Using the individual and collective living situation of different women activists as a backdrop, Schmitt investigates the current women’s movement and its role in the sphere of civil society in Russia.
