Women played an important part in the post-Revolutionary process of
Soviet industrialization. Their presence in predominantly male domains
is strongly reflected in the publishing output of Soviet children's
books. Titles such as Sakovskaia's Mamin most (Mommy's bridge, 1933)
depict women's involvement in every aspect of construction - as lathe
operators, metal workers, engineers, crane operators and builders. The
cover of Grimailo's book Na tsigelni (In the Brick Factory, 1931) shows
a barefoot woman lifting heavy bricks against the background of newly
built walls and apartment houses. In a more traditional mode, a paper
cut-out instruction book by Iudin and Ermolaeva, Iz bumagi bez kleia
( Made of paper without glue,1931) portrays on its cover a woman in
the folk tradition of Russian 'luboks' pushing a wheelbarrow. The story
of a gigantic cooking factory is told in Gabbe's and Zadunaiskaia's
Povar na ves gorod ( A cook for the whole city, 1934). Women's right
to education informed the book Iki Okurs (1935) by Aman Kekilov, published
in Turkmenistan.
