Abstract

Анна Шадрина хорошо известна российским исследователям, работающим в области gender studies. Ее книги «Не замужем: секс, любовь и семья за пределами брака» (2014) и «Дорогие дети: сокращение рождаемости и рост “цены” материнства в XXI веке» (2017) получили широкую известность и часто обсуждались на различных научных семинарах и конференциях. В 2025 году в издательстве UCL Press вышла в свет новая книга Шадриной «The Babushka Phenomenon: Older Women and the Political Sociology of Ageing in Russia» (Феномен бабушки: пожилые женщины и политическая социология старения в России), посвященная пожилым российским женщинам. Слово babushka в названии не должно вводить читателя в заблуждение: речь идет не о женщинах, имеющих внуков, а обо всех пожилых женщинах, которых в современной России принято обобщенно называть «бабушки».
