To the attention of readers is a book about the only in the history of Imperial Russia women's order - the Holy Great Martyr Catherine. The book, compiled by Ninel Podgornaya, tells about the cavalier ladies of this order since 1714, in that historical period when the prestige of Russia, whether it was at war or developing peacefully, was so great that every word of its monarch listened to the whole world. The destiny of men were wars and affairs of state, the need of women - good deeds and care for the upbringing of children. By establishing this order, Peter I glorified the feat of Catherine Alexeevna in the name of saving the Fatherland. This order of class, but granted them women from childhood years heeded the commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself". They organized hospitals, treated the wounded, cared for the homeless and the lonely. They collected art galleries, opened schools and museums. This book is dedicated to all of them; Ninel Podgornaya told about all of them and collected their portraits.
