Her letters and diaries include intimate details about Rasputin and the royal family as well as the family's concern over the war with Germany and the subsequent rise of the Bolsheviks. She was eighteen-years-old when she was murdered by the Bolsheviks.

Raising Resilient Black Women: A Study of Superwoman Mothering and Strength as a Form of Gendered Racial Socialization in Black Mother-Daughter Relationships
Mother-daughter relationships play a significant role in how Black women develop their self-concept. Yet, there are few studies exploring young Black women’s identity development in relation to their interpretation of how their mothers conveyed certain beliefs and values about how to navigate society. In the current study, we addressed this gap in the literature by exploring Black adult daughter’s perspectives on their mother’s gendered racial socialization of strength and resilience as a culturally specific coping mechanism. We analyzed semi-structured interview data from 36 Black women (17–24 years, M = 20) in college, and used deductive coding methods to elaborate on Woods-Giscombé (2010) Superwoman Schema (SWS) framework as thematic categories (i.e., obligation to present an image of strength, suppress emotions, help others, resist vulnerability, and intense motivation to succeed). Our results advance strength as a culturally significant component of gendered racial socialization in Black mother-daughter relationships, and we demonstrate how young Black women, as their mothers’ daughters, render their own definitions of strength and resilience. We also offer insight on the role of the SWS in Black mothers’ health, particularly in relation to how mothers may self-silence and overwork themselves to provide for their children. Understanding the functionality of strength may (1) assist parents in encouraging self-reliance in ways that support Black girls’ overall wellbeing; (2) promote future research studies that consider the multidimensionality of strength as a cultural asset and liability; and (3) improve the efficacy of therapeutic approaches for Black women.

Anastasia and her sisters
\"It's summer in 1914 and the Romanovs are aboard the Standart, the Russian royal yacht. Tsar Nicholas, Tsaritsa Alexandra, their four daughters, and the youngest child, Tsarevitch Alexei, are sailing to Romania to meet Crown Prince Carol and his parents. It seems like a fairy tale existence for the four grand duchesses, dressed in beautiful clothes, traveling from palace to palace. But it's not ... Life inside the palace is far from a fairy tale. The girls' younger brother suffers from an excruciatingly painful and deadly blood disease, and their parents have chosen to shield the Russian people from the severity of the future tsar's condition. The secrets and strain are hard on the family, and conditions are equally dire beyond the palace walls. Peasants suffer under the burden of extreme poverty and Tsar Nicholas's leadership power weakens. And when the unthinkable happens--Germany declares war on Russia--nothing in Anastasia's world will ever be the same.\"--Amazon.com.
