Pub Note:
"A rare masterpiece of Soviet book-making, comprised of 35 superb photomontage plates celebrating the emancipation of Soviet women and their involvement in the early development of the country between 1922 and 1933. Beginning with the broadening of women’s suffrage in the 1920s,the book also covers the dynamics of increasing female membership of both party and administrative organizations, the structure of factories, and the Komsomol organization; the extent of women’s udarniki (shock brigades) by the end of the first Five Year Plan; the increasing educational attainment of Soviet women. Some crucially significant diagrams were dedicated to the demonstration of how the socialist daily routine liberated women from household duties. Each chart is designed as a separate poster on a single topic which visualizes statistical data in striking geometric figures. The leaves were also decorated with photomontages, varying by topic. A poster about female udarniki features a full-body drawing of a woman placed next to a pyramid split into sections denoting different industries and indicating different levels of worker enthusiasm in percentage terms. In the background, photographs are montaged of various work processes and a newspaper, Izvestia, about udarniki. Under the pyramid, an average measure of worker enthusiasm in different Soviet industries is shown, along with data on railroad and communal housing construction." A fine copy with OCLC finding just one other at the Library Congress." (Adam Gorfin, 2023)
