Book Description:
|
Anton Chekhov's barbed comment suggests the climate in which Sophia Parnok was writing, and is an added testament to the strength and confidence with which she pursued both her personal and artistic life. Parnok was not a political activist, and she had no engagement with the feminism vogueish in young Russian intellectual circles.
