A woman in Ancient Rus'. Toroptsev A.P.

We still know a little about ancient Russian women: history books mainly tell about the “male world”: about politics, wars, palace intrigues, leaving the world “female”, homely, homely. About how women raised children, arranged life, met the spouses returning from the military campaigns, is usually silent. In his book about an old Russian woman, the famous Russian historian Alexander Toroptsev opens the “female world” readers, refutes the myth of an old Russian woman-producer, in the whole obedient husband, and shows what heavy burden she carried on her fragile shoulders. The book is designed for a wide range of readers interested in the history of Russia.
