Women now want more.
Women say their status has fallen over the past decade.
But for women today, that just doesn't cut it. They say they've borne the brunt of harsh post-Soviet social adjustments and are running out of patience. And a women's movement is gradually evolving - some 50 groups have been formed in the past decade to deal with women's issues. Somehow the real needs of women have been forgotten in this country. March 8 was a key holiday on the Soviet calendar, an occasion to trot out socialism's achievements - like more than 90 percent of Soviet women worked full time, and 55 percent of those with higher educations in the USSR were female.
