“In this book, Dalia Leinarte presents the first detailed study of family policy and gender relations in Soviet Lithuania. Based on both meticulous archival research and sensitive oral history, the work is an impressive achievement. It effectively integrates political, legal, social, and cultural perspectives to produce an analytical survey that is wide-ranging, perceptive and insightful. It is a story of legal principles betrayed, intractable contradictions between policy intentions and outcomes, moral confusion and controversy, and everyday struggles for sufficiency and security. Engagingly and accessibly written, it will be of the greatest interest to scholars and to students at all levels in Soviet and East European studies, social history, women's history and gender studies.” ―Nick Baron, Associate Professor of History, University of Nottingham, UK
''Adopting and Remembering Soviet Reality. Life Stories of Lithuanian Women, 1945–1970'' consists of ten interviews and two introductory essays: "Conducting Interviews in the Post-Soviet Space" and "Women, Work, and Family in Soviet Lithuania". The book recounts the experiences of Lithuanian women in the postwar years, during the so-called "Khrushchev Thaw" and the beginning of the "Stagnation Era". It explores the strategies these women used to reconcile the demands of work and family, as well as their perceptions of gender roles, marriage and romantic love in Soviet society.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Diana T.

“Written by a leading feminist scholar, this meticulously researched and clearly written book explores gendered Soviet family policies and the ways they were experienced. Drawing on a wealth of material, including archival sources, letters and newspapers, it traces the construction of “a New Soviet Woman” in Lithuania and related issues, such as Soviet marriage and divorce, battles with tradition, and the Soviet understanding of gender equality. This outstanding, path-breaking work is essential reading for anyone interested in gender issues in the USSR.” ―Dovile Budryte, Professor of Political Science, Georgia Gwinnett College, USA
''Dalia Leinarte.'' '''The Lithuanian Family in its European Context, 1800-1914. Marriage, Divorce and Flexible Communities'''
[[File:Wiki knyga Cover Family.tif|thumb]]
The book investigates marriage and divorce in Lithuania in the period from 1800 to 1914 focusing on the interaction between authorized marital behaviour and independent individual choices. Lithuania was incorporated into Russia in 1795 and was part of the Tsarist Empire until 1918. How did then under often very restrictive laws and policies – manorial rights and serfdom up to 1861, pervasive role of the Catholic Church and absence of civil marriage and divorce, in addition to deep rooted customary practices - women and men manage to normalize and solve the problems of their family life?
The book reveals that it was possible through the adoption of unofficial, and often illegal, solutions. Women and men at all levels of the nineteenth-century Lithuanian society employed unsanctioned marital behavior, such as cohabitation, bigamy and levirate, among others, in order to respond to the external obstacles that had an impact on their family life, including transmission of inheritance and household structure. The book asks if the history of cohabitation followed different paths in Western and Eastern Europe? Was cohabitation in Western Europe caused by inability to meet the costs of a wedding, while in Eastern Europe cohabiting couples could not comply with the exigencies of official marriage law?

''Dalia Leinarte''. '''Adopting and Remembering Soviet Reality. Life Stories of Lithuanian Women, 1945–1970'''
Following the Second World War, Soviet ideology gained exceptional power over historical memory in the newly incorporated Baltic States – Lithuania included. There, the Soviets erased collective memory by renaming cities and streets, transforming peasant farms into Soviet kolkhozes, and passing off Soviet rituals for Lithuanian national traditions. Not only did the Socialist State change the toponomy and geography of pre-war Lithuania, it also strove to shape the values, beliefs and identities of the Lithuanian people. Though the regime was doomed, its influence on the subjective experience was substantial.
Adopting and Remembering Soviet Reality: Life Stories of Lithuanian Women, 1945–1970 consists of ten interviews and two introductory essays: “Conducting Interviews in the Post-Soviet Space” and “Women, Work, and Family in Soviet Lithuania”. The book recounts the experiences of Lithuanian women in the postwar years, during the so-called “Khrushchev Thaw” and the beginning of the “Stagnation Era”. It explores the strategies these women used to reconcile the demands of work and family, as well as their perceptions of gender roles, marriage and romantic love in Soviet society.
