The Birth of the Soviet Woman. Worker, Peasant, Pilot, Former and Others in Art from 1917 to 1939

The book presents a detailed art historical analysis of a whole spectrum of types of the "new woman" constructed by Soviet power in the 1920s-1930s.
The author shows how closely propaganda and agitation tasks intertwined with social changes and innovation in art, and also offers a perspective on the early Soviet gender reform as the basis for the diversity of artistic solutions that emerged.
