Subject Index to The Soviet Review

The socialist system has emancipated woman and liberated her from age-old slavery and oppression. Illiteracy and the occupational backwardness of women have been eliminated, as has discrimination against female labor and other consequences of the dominance of capitalism. Women participate in gainful socialist employment along with men. In the USSR, women comprise more than 50 percent of all professional and paraprofessional people with higher and secondary education. During the Soviet years, women's political and civic activity has risen beyond measure, and the intellectual life of women has been enriched.
