The article focuses on the social conditions of women in Central Asia. A gigantic battle has been proceeding throughout Soviet Central Asia to eliminate kalim, child marriage, and the veiled woman. The scenes of bitterest struggle are Uzhekistan, Tadjikistan and Turkmenistan and Khiva. Legislation and economic conditions spelled the death of the popular institutions of harem and polygamy. But woman remained a subjected, inferior species until propaganda, education, and force opened the door to a new freedom.
