GENDER IN HISTORY

Series editors:
Lynn Abrams, Cordelia Beattie, Pam Sharpe and Penny Summerfield

The expansion of research into the history of women and gender since the 1970s has changed the face of history. Using the insights of feminist theory and of historians of women, gender historians have explored the configuration in the past of gender identities and relations between the sexes. They have also investigated the history of sexuality and family relations, and analysed ideas and ideals of masculinity and femininity. Yet gender history has not abandoned the original, inspirational project of womens history: to recover and reveal the lived experience of women in the past and the present.

The series Gender in History provides a forum for these developments. Its historical coverage extends from the medieval to the modern period, and its geographical scope encompasses not only Europe and North America but all corners of the globe. The series aims to investigate the social and cultural constructions of gender in historical sources, as well as the gendering of historical discourse itself. It embraces both detailed case studies of specific regions or periods, and broader treatments of major themes. Gender in History titles are designed to meet the needs of both scholars and students working in this dynamic area of historical research.

Acknowledgements

This book would not have been possible without the support of a number of people in Moscow and St Petersburg. I am particularly grateful to Marina Drozdova for her help in procuring material and arranging some of the interviews, for her comments on sections of the book and, most of all, for her friendship and hospitality. It was certainly due to her that my field work in Moscow was enjoyable; it was also due to her, at least in part, that it was possible. I would also like to thank Sasha Breigin, Olga Issoupova and Roza Gef for their assistance. Rachel Platonov kindly read and commented on one of the chapters of the book. I would also like to acknowledge the support of my employer, the University of Manchester, in giving me research leave for one semester. Finally, I would like to thank the AHRC for providing me with a grant to relieve me of my University work for an additional semester, and for its tremendous patience when illness delayed the completion of the project.

Some of the material in , on the Khrushchev period, has appeared in previous publications. These are L. Attwood, Housing in the Khrushchev Era, in Melanie Ilic, Susan E. Reid and L. Attwood (eds),
