| Summary: | The article is devoted to the reconstruction of the daily life of female workers of
the Ishim shoe factory No. 4 during the Great Patriotic War. To study the everyday
life of women during the war years, the office documents of the factory and local
authorities, as well as documents of personal origin, are used. The study is based
on a historical and anthropological approach to the past. Descriptive method and
oral history method are applied. The author comes to the conclusion that thanks
to the efforts of women, who were the main labor force of the factory, in a short
time the evacuated enterprise not only began to function in a new place, but
also became a model for other enterprises of the Ishim region. The women not
only over fulfilled the plan for sewing shoes, but also fully met the production
needs of the enterprise: they prepared peat and firewood organized vegetable
gardens and stored vegetables for the factory canteen. In addition, women were
actively involved in social work taking care of the evacuees, collecting money,
food and warm clothes for the needs of the front. Along with the development of
new social roles by women, they retained their traditional responsibilities related
to maintaining a home and raising children. Similar transformations in the social
behavior of women occurred against the background of a deterioration in living
conditions, a reduction in living standards, a lack of nutrition, and complications of
the epidemiological situation. With the complication of her social roles, a woman
during the war years carried an important social function associated with the creation
of a special spiritual atmosphere, simultaneously reconciling with the brutal military
reality and maintaining the hope of a return to peacetime |
