Alexandra Kollontai On Women's Liberation

by Alexandra Kollontai

These brilliant writings are essential reading for anyone concerned with the fight for the real liberation of women. Alexandra Kollontai was one of the most important fighters for women's liberation and sexual freedom. This pamphlet contains three of her most important writings.

In extracts from her book 'The Social Basis of the Women Question' she takes on middle-class feminism in terms fully relevant today and places women's oppression within the context of capitalist society.

In 'Sexual Relations and the Class Struggle', Kollontai deals in great depth with what she has become most noted for, an analysis of sexual relations and the possibility of their transformation. And in 'Communism and the Family' she explores the issue of women in relation to the new morality of Russia after the 1917 revolution.
