十九世紀末對於俄國女性而言，為一個適應嶄新社會經濟制度與社會關係的過度時期，從一方面而言，女性接受教育與職業訓練的機會也顯著增加；然而，女性在經濟上卻仍同時依賴著父母、丈夫及國家政府。由於社會中經濟結構及組織的改變，俄國女性的意識型態也隨之潛移默化。同時，大眾也再次評價了此時期歷經社會化過程後的女性及其人格特質，這也醞釀出賦予女性的一種全新行為準則及道德規範。 兩性結構形成的複雜過程，在在反映於「女性問題」的激辯中，而這樣的論辯不僅延伸至當時的報刊雜誌，甚至出現於出版書籍中。當時的研究學者及社會專家，將注意力集中於三個主要的問題中：「女性存在的最初意義」、「女性角色在人類發展上所扮演的角色」，以及「兩性起源的差異」。

For the Russian women, the late phase of the nineteenth century represents a transitional stage to accommodate the brand new economic system and the relationship to the community. From another perspective, the opportunities of education and job training improved obviously. However, in the meanwhile women still relied on their parents, husband, and the government economically. Due to the transformations in social economies and organizations, the ideology of Russian women changed and was influenced unobtrusively and imperceptibly. Furthermore, the multitude judged anew the characteristics and personality of the socialized woman, and accordingly, some brand-new principles of conduct and morality were nurtured and attached to women. The complicated process of sexual structuring was reflected repeatedly in the fierce debates around feminist issues. And such debates not only extended to newspapers and the magazines, but also existed in published books. The researchers and sociologists at that time focused on three main issues, the original significance of female existence, the roles of the female in the evolution of human beings, and the differences of origins between the female and male.
