Perestroika and Soviet Women

Leading specialists explore the impact both perestroika and glasnost have had on Soviet women as workers, consumers and political actors. They discuss the implications of reform for female labor, the falling percentage of female deputies and the position of women in the Ukraine. The authors also show how glasnost had helped to expose social problems while at the same time obscuring the role of girls in youth culture, creating images of irresponsible mothers and leading to the spread of pornography and anti-abortion sentiments.Buckley, Mary is the author of 'Perestroika and Soviet Women', published 1992 under ISBN 9780521414432 and ISBN 0521414431.
