Women in Russian Theatre is the first ever documentation of Russian actresses to be published in English. It is a fascinating feminist intervention into the much-studied canon of Russian theatre history. With unprecendented access to newly-opened files in Russia, Catherine Schuler examines the impact Russian actresses had upon the modernist theatre of their period.

A fascinating feminist counterpoint to the established area of Russian theatre populated by male artists such as Stanislavsky, Chekov and Meyerhold. Schuler focuses upon the extraordinary lives and work of eight Russian actresses.
