Woman and Russia: First Feminist Samizdat is a landmark work in the history of feminist political literature, presenting a collection of underground writings that emerged from the Soviet Union in the late 1970s. Compiled and introduced by the Women in Eastern Europe Group, the anthology chronicles the courageous testimonies and essays of Soviet women who risked persecution to document the realities of gender oppression behind the Iron Curtain. The texts uncover the stark contradictions between official Soviet ideology — which proclaimed women's equality — and the lived experiences of domestic subjugation, workplace discrimination, and state-sanctioned violence. Published by Sheba Feminist Publishers, this historic samizdat collection stands as both a political document and a testament to the resilience of feminist activism under authoritarian rule, offering Western readers a rare and vital window into the struggles of their Soviet counterparts.
