Women Writers in Russian Literature presents a critical overview of Russian women writers from earliest times to the present, including emigre authors. This collection examines images of women, and reintroduces Russian women writers whose recognition is long overdue.

While poets such as Aleksander Pushkin worked within a male-centred Romantic aesthetic - the poet as bard or sexual conqueror; nature as mother or mistress; idealized woman as muse - Russian women attempted to reinvent conventions to express themselves as women and poets.
