Anna Krylova, a professor in the Department of Modern Russian History at Duke University, offers a rethinking of the phenomenon of female volunteers who went to the front with their loved ones in 1941.

Machine gunners and snipers, anti-aircraft gunners and pilots, sappers and tank crews, and even commanders of male units—women fought alongside men on the front lines of World War II.

What changes in the gender worldview of pre-war Stalinist society were necessary to make the phenomenon of the female volunteer, female soldier, and female commander culturally, socially, and psychologically possible? How did frontline relations between women and men, as well as gender perceptions in the army and society as a whole, change during and after the war?

Anna Krylova's book provides answers to these questions.
