The lives of women in the 18th century were difficult, contradictory, and exciting. Who can tell us about the times and themselves better than eyewitnesses—people who lived through them? Therefore, in this book, you'll find numerous quotes from memoirs and literary works of the 18th century. Memoirists sometimes contradict each other, offer different perspectives on the same people and events, and aren't always accurate in their descriptions of the facts. But this is precisely what makes their texts living testimonies of the era, with all its secrets, contradictions, omissions, and sometimes even falsifications and outright lies.

Of course, this topic cannot be exhaustively covered in a single book. And the day when the number of works devoted to the history of women will match the number of works describing the history of men is still very far off. And yet, by the end of this book, you will know a little more about what it meant to be a woman in 18th-century St. Petersburg.
