Women, work and the Victorian periodical : living by the press
\"Covering a wide range of magazine work by women, including editing, illustration, poetry, needlework instruction and typesetting, this book provides fresh insights into the participation of women in the nineteenth-century magazine industry. The common thread running through the chapters is the question of how women negotiated the relationship between their public and private selves. Quite often, that relationship turns out to be one of tension and contrast. In order to generate an income, women constructed fictional identities and voiced norms and ideals to which they themselves did not always adhere. Restoring a voice to overlooked authors and adopting new perspectives towards canonical figures, this book traces the different ways in which these women reinvented themselves in the press and addresses the various circumstances that led them to do so\"-- Provided by publisher.

Religion, \Westernization,\ and Youth in the \Closed City\ of Soviet Ukraine, 1964-84
Zhuk explores the connections between cultural consumption and popular religiosity among the youth of Dnepropetrovsk during the Brezhnev era. Given its closed, sheltered existence, Dnepropetrovsk became a unique Soviet social and cultural laboratory in which various patterns of late socialism collided with the new Western cultural influences. Using archival documents, periodicals, personal diaries, and interviews as historical sources, Zhuk focuses on how the consumption of Western popular music among Dnepropetrovsk's youth stimulated their interest in religion and contributed to popular religiosity and various forms of religious identification.

Demonizing Judaism in the Soviet Union during the 1920s
In this article, Robert Weinberg explores the visual representation of Judaism and observant Jews in the Soviet journal Bezbozhnik u stanka (The atheist at the workbench), which appeared in the 1920s. In their efforts to promote atheism and undermine organized religion, the artists responsible for the images in this journal singled out the Jewish god to be depicted with inhuman, bestial, and bizarre features such as a single eye and a nose made out of a fist. This portrayal of Judaism and religious Jews drew upon the pervasive antisemitic tropes and motifs in Russian culture and society and served to demonize Judaism and its adherents.
