The Women's Revolution
The Women's Revolution
Description
The dominant view of the Russian Revolution of 1917 is of a movement led byprominent men like Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky. Despite the demonstrations offemale workers for 'bread and herrings', which sparked the February Revolution, inmost historical accounts of this momentous period, women are too often relegated tothe footnotes. Judy Cox argues that women were essential to the success of therevolution and to the development of the Bolshevik Party.
With biographical sketchesof famous female revolutionaries like Alexandra Kollontai and less well-known figureslike Elena Stasova and Larissa Reisner, The Women's Revolution tells the inspiringstory of how Russian women threw off centuries of oppression to strike, organise,liberate themselves and ultimately try to build a new world based on equality andfreedom for all.
