A number of sources of personal origin was used, such as personal correspondence, memoirs, the daily log. The author analyzed the family life of the Yekaterinburg townswoman — living conditions, upbringing of children, relations with the husband. Family was an important value for the married Yekaterinburg townswoman of intelligentsia, like for most other Russian women at the time. Household issues, health, children’s upbringing were constant subjects in the correspondence of the Yekaterinburg notary spouse Aleksandra Vladimirovna Batmanova. It makes it possible to consider such issues as humane treatment of children, conscientious maternity approach to their upbringing and health through the advanced achievements of pedagogics and medicine a norm. Special attention in the research is paid to the public life of the townswoman. The cultural development of Yekaterinburg during the studied period activated the social life; educated women got more opportunities to participate in professional activity, charity, culture and education. Social activity of intelligentsia women was a part of their daily life. The article dwells on the forms of leisure activity available to every townswoman of Yekaterinburg intelligentsia, as well as their interrelation with the changes in the sphere of city leisure. Traditional leisure activities included social visits, festivities, theatre trips, and such firsts as attending popular scientific lectures, literary musicales, cinemas. Such activities as having a rest at country houses called dachas, trips to capital cities, resorts, readings in the family circle started to gain popularity. Thus, the daily life of the Yekaterinburg townswoman of intelligentsia was connected with the development of education, charity, social life and culture.
