Throughout the 1980s Vaneeva found it impossible to publish, and was forced to work as a caretaker. As a woman writer Vaneeva even faced criticism for her "menstrual prose". She joined with Svetlana Vasilenko and others to form a feminist literary group, The New Amazons, who published an anthology of women's writing in Russia in 1990.{{cite book|author=Rosalind Marsh|editor=Rosalind Marsh|title=New Women's Writing: Contextualising Fiction, Poetry and Philosophy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=A-d_DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA416|year=2018|publisher=Cambridge Scholars Publishing|isbn=978-1-5275-2340-1|pages=416, 419|chapter="In Search of the Woolly Mammoth"?
