- Description
- Focus on the role of gender in the historical narratives about the fight for political rights in the Russian empire. The author argues that Russian feminists were an integral force for revolution and social change, particularly during the uprisings of 1905-1917. The backgrounds, motivations, methods, activism, and organizational networks of early Russian feminists are analyzed, also in the international context of suffrage movements.
