The wifes of Decabrists were following their stripped of any nobility husbands into exile to Siberia, in some cases leaving their children. As a result these women were also stripped of nobility and as a family left without any income apart from work.
There is even a term "жена декабриста" (decabrist's wife) in Russian culture, which describes extreme loyality of the wife to her husband.
