Alexandra Popoff
The six literary wives in the book, Anna Dostoevsky, Sophia Tolstoy, VÃ©ra Nabokov, Elena Bulgakov, Nadezhda Mandelstam, and Natalya Solzhenitsyn were muses, intellectual companions, and indispensable aids to Russiaâ€™s most celebrated writers. Popoff draws from the womenâ€™s autobiographical writings and other key Russian sources to reveal the womenâ€™s contributions to world literature and to tell about a collaborative tradition they established.
