Russian Review

"Kind-Kovács fills the gaps left by previous treatments of tamizdat by detailing the activities of women in various aspects of tamizdat production. While during the Cold War men involved in the literary underground were the primary focus of the Western media, women too played significant roles in the production of samizdat/tamizdat as writers, chroniclers, binders, punblishers, and in the establishment of a 'transnational women's movement.' Written Here, Published There is informative, insightful, and thouroughly researched, and brings virtually all aspects of tamizdat publication and the challenges faced by non-conformist writers of the Soviet Bloc into one volume."
