A Revolution of Their Own illuminates the harsh reality of women's daily lives in the Soviet Union as no previous book has done covering the stories of eight Russian women, offering an extremely rare perspective into personal life in the Soviet era.

This collection presents the history of women in the Soviet era by bringing together first-hand accounts of Russian women and their lives. The eight women interviewed for this book represent diverse social backgrounds and geographical regions, but all were born before the Bolshevik revolution.
