“Based on extensive original research, including studies of
autobiographies and biographies, reminiscences and memoirs, archived oral
history data and interviews conducted by the authors, this book provides a rich
picture of how women experienced repression in the former Soviet bloc.
Although
focusing on key years when repression was at its height – 1937 for the Soviet
Union, 1941 for Lithuania and Poland, 1948 for Czechoslovakia and 1956 for
Romania – the book ranges more widely. It demonstrates that although far fewer
women than men were the direct victims of repression, women experienced severe
repression in many ways, including exile, deportation and as family members of
those arrested, imprisoned and executed.”
