Baranskaya: A Week Like Any Other

Natal’ya Baranskaya achieved instant fame with the controversial publication in 1969 of A Week Like Any Other.
The story, remarkable for its lack of tendentiousness, presents a uniquely honest picture of the stressful and unequal lot of soviet women, in the form of a diary of a typical week in the life of Olga Voronkova, a young Moscow scientist and mother.
