The Women's Liberation Movement in Russia: Feminism, Nihilism, and Bolshevism, 1860-1930
The Women's Liberation Movement in Russia: Feminism, Nihilism, and Bolshevism, 1860-1930 by Richard Stites

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 1860s and 1870s, and leads to the social mobilization campaigns of the early Soviet period.
