This study is a valuable addition to the growing scholarship on women's experiences since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Between 1991 and 1996, Professor Racioppi, a political scientist, and Professor See, a sociologist, conducted extensive interviews with leaders of the emerging Russian women's movement. They then incorporated the fruits of the interviews into a more general discussion of the development of that movement since the late 1980s. The resulting book is an informative, thoughtful, and very useful study.
