«
“McKinney’s book can be situated at the crossroads of economics, women’s studies, history and oral history. … This book is useful for those who want to understand the relationship between policymaking and daily practices, the current Russian situation from a historical perspective, gender role constellations in Russia and the outcome of the abrogation of the state-supported gender contract.” (Tetiana Havlin, Europe-Asia Studies, August 20, 2021)
“This volume makes a welcome and valuable addition to the literature on the everyday experiences of women during the tumultuous period of Gorbachev’s reforms during the late 1980s in the Soviet Union and in the years following the country’s collapse in 1991. … This volume is likely to find its place in Russian and Soviet women’s history and gender studies.” (Melanie Ilic, Slavonic and East European Review SEER, Vol. 99 (2), April, 2021)
