The women's liberation movement in Russia

Enlarge text Shrink text
  • Book

Richard Stites views the struggle for liberation of Russian women in the context of both nineteenth-century European feminism and twentieth-century communism. The central personalities, their vigorous exchange of ideas, the social and political events that marked the emerging ideal of emancipation--all come to life in this absorbing and dramatic account. The author's history begins with the feminist, nihilist, and populist impulses of the 1860's and 1870's, and leads to the social mobilization campaigns of the early Soviet period.
