Interesting article, looks like it's in pretty good shape for the most part, I have a few comments I can offer about possible improvements:
Nice work. I was wondering, maybe, if the Soviet Union section could be the seed of a separate Feminism in the Soviet Union article, perhaps for another edit-a-thon? There is certainly a lot to write there, and a lot of sources, about the gap between rhetoric and reality. In fact, the current article could use, as a way of illustrating that, a joke from that era that Hedrick Smith reported in his classic The Russians (which has a whole chapter on women in Russian culture):
Q: Why are Soviet women freer than capitalist women?
A: Because capitalist women have to work all day and then come home and cook and clean and take care of the kids, while Soviet women work all day, come home and cook and clean and take care of the kids and build socialism.
If I had an exact page ref, I'd put it in the article. Daniel Case ( talk) 15:10, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Based on this revision
The article fails to mention the fact that Russia has the highest female percentage in management in the world at 40+ per cent. There are a lot of reliable sources for this claim, one can easily find them online. This should be included I guess. 46.39.230.124 ( talk) 23:47, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
The page describes mostly average life of a woman in a city/town - work, shopping. Other cases:
An interesting source I've located is the New York Times of 13 April 2013, and this indicates that it was Patriarch Kirill of Moscow who criticized feminism. Should this fact be included in this article? BTW, I am aware that this doesn't of itself mean that all of the Russian Orthodox Church is antagonistic to feminism. I strongly suspect that there are learned theologians within Russian Orthodoxy who would take a more enlightened view. I've yet to look into this. But the Patriarch is still an important leader, and perhaps his view should be included in the article. Redaction101 ( talk) 22:33, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
