An early Soviet feminist magazine “Zhenskii zhurnal” was devoted to life in the newly formed socialist country. The edition also features everyday women problems related to health, family, education – and work. Challenging centuries-old traditions, the magazine urged women to advocate their opportunity for independent life. The articles on juridical issues, the technical and electrical enlightenment were published along with the political news. The magazine involves more texts on baby care, scientific explanation of diseases, national policy, mass education, sex issues and ideology.
The periodical is illustrated with drawings and photographs by A. Shaikhet (Moscow), S. Fridliand (Moscow) I. Chechurin (Omsk), V. Burilov (Irkutsk), et al. Some covers are designed with photomontages by Semen Semenov-Menes (1895-1982), one of the leading Soviet masters of movie poster design. Drawn designs were created by anartists with various monographs.
One of the contributors was Nadezhda Lamanova (1861-1941), the first professional clothing designer of her time. After the Revolution, she stayed in Russia and laid the basis for the new Soviet fashion. The issue No.1 for 1926 contains her article “On the Costume” supplemented with photos of her designs.

UC Berkeley locates paper copies of #5 (1926), #9 (1927), #3 (1929), Houston Museum of Fine Arts locates both 1929 issues.
