- Description
- Six Russian women who are in search of or have already found husbands describe how they placed listings on the Internet and what they think about their contacts with Western men: their expectations about marriage in the United States and their reasons for wishing to emigrate. Each chapter presents one woman’s story and then links it to a discussion of gender roles, the mail-order bride industry and the economic and social constraints of life in Russia.
