In the introduction to the chapter we read from Marianne Kamp, she says “The Hujum as originally envisioned focused on enforcing laws thatgave women equality, creating literacy programs and bringing womeninto the labor force. Communists in Central Asia and the Caucasus were supposed to attack every obstacle to women’s equality” (150). On paper, these few sentences alone do not all that bad, but that is where my question comes in. Having read about the experiences of people who lived during the time, it is clear that the policy was flawed. What are some things the Soviet government may not have considered when it implemented these policies?
