- Description
- This publication contains the life stories of fifteen Estonian women whose lives were turned upside down in the conflagration of World War II and its aftermath. Caught in the hegemonic struggle of Germany and the Soviet Union, these women managed to survive and record their experiences in spite of the break-up of their families, deportation, incarceration, and years of deprivation and hardship. The editors provide the historical and cultural context in which these stories may be understood. The stories are analysed from sociological and gender theoretical perspectives.
