The revolution of the women: emancipation female in Russia Soviet

Abstract

At a more than opportune time, Boitempo launched a collection of texts produced, in the midst of the Russian Revolution, by women who built the feminist movement in that country. Organized with great care, the book was translated directly from Russian by 14 translators and contains texts by eleven authors: Alexandra Kollontai, Nadjiedja Krupskaia, Anna Kalmanovitch, Olga Chapir, Maria Pokrovskaia, Liubov Gurievitch, Ekaterina Kuskova, Ariadna Williams, Inessa Armand, Elena Kuvchinskaia and Konkordia Samoilova. Each article is preceded by a biography and photos, with illustrations, some of which date back to the golden period of the Soviet revolution, such as the poster that illustrates the cover, from 1961.
