Grassroots Russian women's organizations faced multiple challenges in the early 1990s. Their members looked to them for help and support as they struggled to survive the harsh realities of post-Soviet society. Yet, like their members, organizations were themselves confronted with potentially hostile attitudes as well as practical difficulties. Post-Soviet ideologies of gender difference and essentialist justifications of women's removal from the public sphere produced a new gender climate hardly sympathetic to female activism. This book presents a detailed study of grassroots women's organizations in three Russian provincial centres, as well as in Moscow, in the period 1991-96. The findings of that study are given context by a careful analysis of gender relations and attitudes to women's place in post-Soviet Russian society. The assumed fundamental differences between this 'new' post-Soviet situation and both its Soviet and contemporary Western counterparts are questioned by the author. Issues relating to membership recruitment, political activism, movement building and the impact of western funding are raised here with regard to the experiences of the organizations studied. The implications of this analysis have a much broader significance both in terms of the development of civil society in Russia and for the future of East-West cooperation.
