The Soviet Union was the first country in the world to declare women equal to men. At the same time, cinema was emerging as the newest and most accessible form of popular entertainment, and as a powerful tool in propagandizing the Party line. This book looks at the interaction between these two phenomena: at the extent to which women's new status and roles were reflected and promoted on Soviet screens throughout the country's history.
Part I, written by Lynne Attwood, provides an essential framework for readers unfamiliar with Soviet studies. It offers a lucid and lively account of the milestones in Soviet history, the importance of film within this history and the changing images and experiences of Soviet women within both cinema and society. In Parts II and III, women from the former Soviet Union - film critics, directors, camera-operators and script-writers - relate their own experiences in the film industry, and their responses to the images of women portrayed on screen. This crisply-written book, illustrated with evocative photographs from Soviet films, will provide readers with a real insight into the relationship between women and film in the Soviet Union.

Synopsis:
The Soviet Union was the first country in the world to decree that women were fully equal to men. At the same time, the cinema was the newest and most accessible form of popular entertainment - a powerful new tool to forge a new "Soviet person" and state. How did film-makers interpret their new task? Did film promote women's equality? What role did women play in the creation of new female images? What does this tradition mean for women in film today? This book aims to introduce the western reader to the realities and issues for women in the Soviet film industry, and their place in society from the revolution to the fall of Gorbachev. Part 1, written by Lynne Attwood, provides a framework for the discussions that follow. Part 2 consists of contributions by women inside the Soviet film industry - actors, directors, critics - and on its impact on the lives of women past and present.
