Review "This beautifully designed, multidisciplinary book is dedicated to art created by and about women in 20th-century Russia. It includes more than 100 color prints and six thematic chapters--all by leading specialists in the field--on topics ranging in historical scope from the pre-revolutionary avant-garde to the role of women in the Moscow conceptualism movement of the 1970s and 1980s. One chapter is dedicated to the depiction of ballerinas in Russian art, another to the sculpting of the female body. In terms of criticism, the authors engage with Russian studies and women's and gender studies as well as art history. The introduction places Russian women artists in broad historical and cultural context and in the context of suffragist movements elsewhere in Europe. The art included captures Russian women everywhere they could be found: in the workplace, in the home, in the fields, at the barre, in their automobiles, and on the battlefields. The book concludes with profiles of 12 artists, including both the well-known (Vera Mukhina, Lyubov Popova) and less-familiar but equally talented painters and sculptors. Affordable in terms of the number and quality of prints included, this book will be valuable for both course work and personal use. . . . Highly recommended."-- "CHOICE" Long Description This new publication provides a cross-disciplinary examination of early 20th century feminism and gender politics in the Soviet Union in relation to the rise and development of prominent female artists and sculptors.
