At the beginning of the 1920th century, not only Paris with its literary cafes, but also revolutionary Moscow became a point of attraction for American expats. In the 1930s and XNUMXs, many American intellectuals were fascinated by the Soviet project, and independent, educated, and determined women—suffragettes, educators, journalists, artists, and reformers—occupied a special place among them. Many of them went to Moscow in the hope of a new era in which they would not only be independent of men, but also become equal builders of a new society. They rescued starving children, worked in rural communes in Siberia, wrote for Moscow or New York newspapers, and performed on Soviet stages. Julia L. Mickenberg, in her book, tells the stories of these women, reveals the complex motives behind their actions, and shows the path that most of them took from romantic infatuation to bitter disappointment with the Soviet experiment. Julia L. Mickenberg is a cultural historian, PhD, and a professor at the University of Minnesota.
