Factors affecting Social Mobility for Women in the Soviet Countryside.
This study is based on a wide range of sociological, ethnographic, and public- health literature. The author re-examines her original position that "the peasant is a man in transition", and concludes that the proposition should undergo a gender change. Soviet rural women are not being given access to technical training, in spite of official desire. Several reasons are given for this, and the author concludes that in order to achieve their maximum potential, rural women are having to leave for the cities. The situation is not likely to change unless the biological role of women is altered.
