The University of Chicago Press offers a free e-book every month. This month's is American Girls in Red Russia. I haven't read it but it looks interesting:

Once upon a time, Soviet socialism was cool. If you were an independent, adventurous, liberated American woman in the 1920s or 1930s, it was a place to escape the constraints and compromises of bourgeois living. In our free e-book for January, American Girls in Red Russia: Chasing the Soviet Dream, Julia L. Mickenberg recovers the lives of the suffragists, reformers, educators, journalists, and artists who came to Russia in search of more just, equitable, and satisfying social arrangements. And most in the end were disillusioned, some by mundane realities, others by horrifying truths.
