Examines how and why life as a literary and philosophical category catalyzed the development of post-Stalinist Russian women's prose, particularly since the collapse of the Soviet Union. This work traces the development, and intriguing ruptures, of Russian women's prose. It is suitable for those interested in Russian literature and gender studies.

Trade Review
Sutcliffe lifts women's writing out of a category to which it was long consigned and shows how their works, grounded in everyday life, address larger issues in Soviet and post-Soviet society that transcend the gender divisions within Russian and Soviet literature. - Adele Barker, University of Arizona ""A significant contribution to Slavic women's studies. Sutcliffe's nuanced chronological overview is unmatched for this topic, and his excellent close readings yield many valuable insights."" - Narasha Kolchevska, University of New Mexico
