This book contains stories about twenty incredible Muscovite women — brave, ambitious, talented, sensitive. Each Muscovite was special: they shone on the theater stage, acted in films, ran factories, inspired artists, built and opened schools, hospitals, and maternity hospitals.

Historian and author of the course “Women in the Big City” Oksana Monakhova tells how Faina Ranevskaya made her way onto the big stage, how pre-revolutionary Russian businesswoman Vera Firsanova founded the Sandunovsky Baths — an example of the bath industry of that time, and how fashion designer Nadezhda Lamanova designed dresses that every woman could sew for herself.

The heroines of this book changed the world, rebuilt it for themselves. And this could not help but be reflected in the appearance of the city. In this beautiful gift book you will learn what amazing stories about their owners and patronesses are hidden in the houses, streets, parks and museums of Moscow.
