Abstract
There is a general impression in publications of the 1920s that there was a single ideal of Soviet womanhood on which all readers should model themselves, albeit with some minor differences relating to geographical location. This impression is bolstered by the perpetual use of the term ‘new woman’, in the singular, rather than ‘new women’, plural. Yet it was acknowledged that for the time being there was considerable variation in lifestyle, behaviour, opinions, and even personality between women in different parts of the country. These differences, the women’s magazines made clear, needed to be eradicated.
