Reader Reviews:
Excellent depiction of Russian womens' lives (0/0 people found this helpful)
Baranskaya swears this is not a feminist work, but it's hard for American women to read it and not think about feminism. The thing is, there is no thesis here, no statement of injustice or plea ofr reparation: Baranskaya's novella has a "suck it up - this is how it is" tone. This tone makes the work uniquely Russian and it maddens most Western readers. Must read for anyone interested in Russian daily life, comparative cultural studies and women's studies.
