University Press of Kansas. Modern War Studies. Women have participated in war throughout history, but their experience in Russia during the First World War was truly exceptional. Between the war s beginning and the October Revolution of 1917, approximately 6,000 women answered their country s call. These courageous women became media stars throughout Europe and America, but were brushed aside by Soviet chroniclers and until now have been largely neglected by history. Laurie Stoff draws on deep archival research into previously unplumbed material, including many first-person accounts, to examine the roots, motivations, and legacy of these women. She reveals that Russia was the only nation in World War I that systematically employed women in the military, marking the first time that a government run by men had organized women for combat. And although they were originally envisioned as propaganda--promoting patriotism and citizenship to inspire the thousands of males who had been deserting or refusing to fight — Russian women.
