Recenzii

“The title under review, while being the latest contribution to the field, deserves to be recognized as the starting place for all readers interested in the topic. This book offers both breadth and depth to the study of what Soviet women did as soldiers, sailors, airmen, and partisans, and why they did it. … The authors used a variety of archives, memoir material, interviews, and secondary materials to make a solid evidentiary case for their observations and conclusions.” (Roger R. Reese, The Russian Review, Vol. 47 (3), July, 2015)
"This truly impressive book is an outstanding contribution to our knowledge of women and war and of Soviet social history in wartime...the closest thing yet to a single-volume overview of Soviet military women during World War II. The research conducted...is outstanding...deftly combin[ing] published and archival materials...[A] model of readable and fascinating scholarship." - Reine Pennington, Slavic Review

"The strengths of this worklie not only in the comprehensive approach but also in the detailed descriptions of women who participated...This is the most thorough examination of women on the frontlines during the Great Patriotic War, and thus is a valuable contribution to scholarship on the topic." - Laurie Stoff, American Historical Review
"The book offers a nuanced analysis of the state efforts to provide for the younger generations. This book is recommended to anyone who wishes to understand the impact of war on Soviet society and to make sense of the relationship that developed between the regime and its female citizens." - Olga Kucherenko, Australian Journal of Politics and History
"This excellent book tells the story of the participation of these women in a genocidal and misogynist war of unprecedented scale and violence. [T]he book makes important contributions to the understanding of Soviet women's participation in modern industrialized warfare, the nature of the Stalinist state, and women's place within wider society. It is a well written and painstakingly researched study." - Robert Dale, Comparativ
