Explores the lives of Uzbek women, in their own voices and words, before and after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Drawing upon oral histories and writings, this book re-examines the Soviet Hujum, the 1927 campaign in Soviet Central Asia to encourage mass unveiling as a path to social and intellectual "liberation."
