This book questions the practical implications of the socialist theorists' idea that women would be liberated through socialism. It provides information about the working conditions, living standarts, health facilities and family standarts of women who lived in the Soviet Socialist Republics. In the book, women's rights and freedoms were discussed in the Tsarist Empire, in the revolutions during the establishment of the Soviet Union, in the implementation process of the Stalinist policies, in the process of applying the Glasnost and Perestroika policies of Mikhail Gorbachev, which is called openness and restructuring. The book, which started with the words of Karl Marx, who stated that women's freedom is a condition for social progress, examined what this long historical process brought to Soviet women and what they took away from Soviet women. The term 'Soviet woman' mentioned in the book describes women of different nationalities struggling with the socio-economic problems experienced within the cosmopolitan structure of the Soviet Union. The book expresses the shared identity issues of women in the vast geography od the Soviet Union, drawing attention not only to Russian women but also to women from different ethnicities living Central Asia, including an Uzbek women from the Samarkand region of Uzbekistan and a Tajik women from Tajikistan. In addition, the book mentions the social, economic and cultural conditions of women in capitalist countries and compares the shortcomings or mistakes of socialism in practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
