WOMEN’S EVERYDAY LIFE AT THE YAROSLAVL MACHINE-ENGINEERING PLANT “KRASNY MAYAK” IN THE 1920—1940s
Abstract
On the basis of archival documents, periodicals and photographs the author studies the women’s everyday life of a typical machine-engineering plant “Krasny Mayak” in Yaroslavl. The author establishes 1925 as the date of the initial arrival of women in the lead-blend and paint-and-lacquer production, shows an increase in the number of women at the enterprise after changing its profile to machine-building and the predominance of women in the workforce during the Great Patriotic War with a further downward trend in the number of women in production in postwar time. The article gives the examples of the industrial and social activity of the women of the plant through the highest personal achievements and participation in socialist initiatives. As an indicator of the increase in the number of women at the plant the opening of the kindergarten in 1940 was noted. It was emphasized that the boundaries of women’s everyday life at the factory were much wider than production itself and included issues of housing, food, leisure.
Key words
Women, everyday life, plant, production, mechanical engineering, the Great Patriotic War of 1941—1945, Yaroslavl, “Krasny Mayak”.
