A collection of excerpts from women's autobiographies and autobiographical sketches. Good overall. Some are more telling than others, but overall greatly informative. I especially enjoyed Sofia Khovshchinskaia's Reminiscences of Institute Life and Ekaterina Slanskaia's House Calls: A Day in the Practice of a Duma Woman Doctor in St. Petersburg.
