Women and Children PrisonersMillions of Soviet citizens were sent to forced-labor prison camps from 1929 to 1953, and over 1.5 million died. Ten to 20 percent of these prisoners were women, many of them found guilty of nothing more than being married to men considered enemies of the state. This photo, taken around 1932, shows a woman and possibly her two children performing hard manual labor in one of these camps. (© akg-images/The Image Works)
