Performing (heterosexual) femininity: Female agency and role in sexual life and contraceptive use – a qualitative study in Australia
Women's liberation and the sexual revolution have changed the social landscape for heterosexual women in the West over the past 50 years, but exploration of women's lived experiences of contraceptive use in the context of their sexual lives is comparatively recent. We conducted 94 in-depth open-ended interviews with women of reproductive age (16-49 years) living in New South Wales, Australia. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim a…

These three questions have previously shown important effects in improving the quality of information provided du…

Maksim Gorky: Selected Letters
It has been Gorky's great misfortune to be remembered mostly for the wrong things - for his apparent support of the Stalin regime; for his direct involvement in the foundation of the Union of Soviet Writers; and for the composition of the novel Mother (held up by generations of Soviet critics as the model for Socialist Realist fiction). With the advent of glasnost and perestroika, and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet order itself, these conv…

One of the most renowned Soviet writers of the 20th century, Maxim Gorky was an early supporter of the Bolsheviks. He became disillusioned with the turn of events after the 1917 revolution, however, and wrote a series of critical articles for the magazine New Life that eventually caused the new communist government to dose down the publication.

Gor'ky, glasnost' and Perestroika: The death of a cultural superhero
publicised policies of glasnost' and perestroika have resulted in changes of a magnitude that no one would have even dreamt possible a mere five years ago. These changes have been nowhere more spectacular than in Soviet literary life. Who could have predicted that in 1991 we would be surveying a scene in which the previously unthinkable has become a simple fact of life? The publication of such works as Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago, of Zamyatin's We…
Between Two Worlds: "A Critical Introduction to "The Master and Margarita
Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita presents the story of Christ's Passion curiously interwoven with a modern love-story, and with the adventures in 20th century Moscow of a mysterious stranger and his obstreperous retinue. Hailed as one of the most important and original works of fiction to have emerged from the Soviet Union, it has been, since its posthumous publication in 1966-7, the subject of immense interest and debate. Dr Barratt's…
