Anna Dostoyevskava - Stenographer, Publisher and Writer (Married to Fyodor Dostoyevsky)

When Anna Grigoryevna Snitkina showed up on the doorstep of Fyodor Dostoyevsky to serve as his stenographer, helping him complete his next deadline, she had no idea that that life was about to change big time.

What follows is an unusual courtship and unexpected happiness for both of them, despite Dostovesky's significant challenges, physical, familial and otherwise. Their resulting marriage seems to be almost the opposite of the Tolstoy's, and yet much like Sofia Tolstoyana - Anna clearly was responsible for much of Dostoyevsky's success, both before and after his passing.

Listen now for the story of a woman who, against many odds, was able to pull her husband out of debt and poverty cycles and into the literary hall of fame.
