Description: "In this study, Carole Balin introduces us to dozens of Jewish women who wrote in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Tsarist Russia. She concentrates on five who were among the most prolific and whose extant literary remains include not only fiction, poetry, drama, translations, and essays, but also memoirs, autobiographies, diaries, and letters. Balin devotes a chapter to each of these women, contextualizing her works within the culture in which she lived and wrote."--BOOK JACKET.
