Her \u003cem\u003eSelected Writings\u003c\/em\u003e discuss the social democratic movement before the First World War, the history of the Russian women's movement, and the debate between \"feminist\" and \"socialist\" women; the effects of the war on European socialism; the revolutions; the part played by women in the revolutionary events; the early manifestations of bureaucracy and Kollontai's role as spokeswoman for the \"workers' opposition\"; and morality, sexual politics, the family, and prostitution. It also includes writings from her later life as a Soviet official. Each section is introduced by a commentary in which Alix Holt explains the background and critically sets Kollontai's unique lifework in its historical and biographical contexts, demonstrating both its necessary limitations and its extraordinary range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 340\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.76 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42724056334399,"sku":"9780393009743","price":34.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/11a608112749b93d9b5829d133c61a86.webp?v=1765101323","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/selected-writings-of-alexandra-kollontai-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
