Drawing on official sources in the Russian language, this book presents new factual information about Russian society before and after the attempted coup of August 1991.

The stories in this collection portray Soviet women of different ages and educational backgrounds at home and at work, in cities and villages. Their themes reflect the social changes in Soviet life in the past 20 years, and are aimed to stimulate inquiry into social and feminist issues.

This new reader brings together in annotated form and explanatory introductions, 80 speeches, declarations, memorandums, programmes, plans, resolutions and (extracts from) treaties, covering the period from 1929 (Briand Memorandum) to 1995 (Mitterrand's speech to the European Parliament).
