Red Valkyries: Feminist Lessons from Five Revolutionary Women Ghodsee Kristen
The lives of five socialist women and their legacy for modern-day feministsRed Valkyries explores the history of socialist feminism in Eastern Europe. Their lives were filled with inner conflicts, contradictions, and sometimes outrageous privilege. Through the revolutionary careers of five prominent socialist women active in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries--the aristocratic Bolshevik Alexandra Kollontai; the radical pedagogue Nadezhda Krupskaya; the polyamorous firebrand Inessa Armand; the deadly sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko; and the partisan, scientist, and global women's activist Elena Lagadinova--Kristen Ghodsee tells the story of the personal challenges faced by earlier generations of radicals.None of these women was a perfect leftist.
Always walking a fine But they managed to fight for their own political projects with perseverance and dedication.
