Mir russkoi zhenshchiny: sem'ia, professiia, domashnii uklad XVIII-nachalo XX ve

Since the second half of the 19th century, more and more Russian women support themselves - they enter the civil service, gain recognition in pedagogy, medicine, journalism, even in such a purely 'male' field as jurisprudence ... A financially independent woman has a choice - to get married and give birth children, devote themselves to a profession or try to combine both. At the same time, the patriarchal family undergoes significant changes, and a new household order arises. The book by Varvara Ponomareva and Lyubov Khoroshilova is the first attempt, based on the documents of the era, to trace the evolution of the world of a Russian woman in conditions where, with the gradual acquisition of rights and individual freedom, she has the opportunity to independently decide her fate, including arranging her personal life and getting a professional education.
