Gymnazistki. Stories about Girls of the 19th Century

What were the girls of the 19th century made of? Perhaps from poems about love and stolen glances, from French speech and porcelain dolls? And also from arithmetic, music, dreams of balls. From embroidery, lace, and mischief. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of pre-revolutionary gymnasiums and boarding houses, when education was a privilege accessible to few. This collection is a precious reminder of the journey young girls took towards knowledge and their place in society. The birth of friendship, the development of the mind, and romantic dreams intertwine in the barely discernible breath of history. The book includes works by Russian writers – Lydia Charskaya, Nadezhda Lukhmanova, and Vera Novitskaya.
