description: Thirteen contributions from international scholars explore the social and literary history of women in 18th-century Russia. Topics include, for example, the presentation of femininity in male-authored Russian literature, the imitation of Western European fashion by Russian women, and the significance of correspondence in noblewomen's lives. While the emphasis is on women of the noble class, several essays consider the lives of working women. Editor Rosslyn is with the U. of Nottingham, UK.
