Women were given better education than ever before when Stalin came into power. Women were not only more educated but were also given higher positions than ever before. However, women were given these great advances because so many were dying or had already died. Many had died from the man created famine that Stalin had enacted to gain control of the agricultural land he believed belonged to the government.

Women were given the ability to learn to read and write and take better positions than they ever had before. But were these advances better for women? Stalin probably thought he could control women better than men therefore giving them a bigger role. Even if Stalin did not think that way he did not give women more education and jobs because he respected them. Like mentioned before, Stalin’s work ended up killing 4 to 5 million people for his wants and needs for his Soviet Union. Women in the Soviet Union earned education and jobs
