Women produced literary texts as early as the Middle Ages, but it was only in the 1900s that women authors finally made a notable breakthrough on the Russian literary scene. Despite a brilliant start further development of women's writing in Russia was crudely interrupted by Soviet censorship and only resumed after the downfall of the USSR. Whereas critics unanimously recognise the greatness of such literary stars as Anna Akhmatova and Marina Tsvetayeva, opinions differ about other celebrities of the time such as Teffi and Lydia Ginzburg who reached wide readerships only in the 1990s, when most of the formerly banned books were published. \u003cbr\u003eMid-century, women were almost invisible in Russian literature, but they were still writing, including such world-famous authors as Ludmila Ulitskaya, Galina Scherbakova, and Svetlana Alexiyevich. In the latter decades women were increasingly dominating publishing programmes and are represented here by Olga Slavnikova, Ludmila Ulitskaya, Irina Muravyova, and Margarita Khemlin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natasha Perova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910213756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910213759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dedalus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Natasha Perova","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937412153599,"sku":"9781910213759","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c5c2c5cb-cf14-43a6-a2e5-b7aa5a70e8c2.jpg?v=1681429909","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slav-sisters-natasha-perova-9781910213759","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
