Working Women of the East: A digital resource for exploring the Soviet Union through the lives of women on its periphery

Russian Text

Each pamphlet is almost uniformly divided into three sections: 1) general demographic information, 2) women's status before the Russian Revolution, and 3) women's status since the Russian Revolution. You can explore the text as corpuses (i.e. all of the text compiled from those sections across the pamphlets) or toggle to a specific pamphlet (such as "Kazachka") using the SCALE drop-down menu in the lower right-hand corner.

A few Voyant Tips:
1. To increase or decrease the number of words included in the visualization, use the Terms slide in the lower left hand corner of the window.
2. To omit certain words from the cloud, add them to the "Stopwords" list by clicking on the toggle icon in the top right-hand corner. (You may need to hover your mouse over the corner for this option to appear.)
3. If you want to select another visualization tool (i.e. something other than a word cloud), click on the grid icon in the top right-hand corner. You may need to hover your mouse over the corner for this option to appear.)
