About this listen
The life and intellectual legacy of Alexandra Kollontai, a pioneering Soviet revolutionary and the first woman to serve in a modern government. Through a series of selected writings and modern introductory essays, the text examines her radical theories on the emancipation of women through economic independence, state-supported motherhood, and the socialization of domestic labor. The sources highlight her unique Marxist analysis of "love-comradeship," arguing that true human liberation requires a complete transformation of interpersonal relationships and a departure from the "isolated" nuclear family. By contextualizing her work within the Bolshevik program, the authors present Kollontai not as a static historical figure, but as a vital resource for contemporary class-based feminism. Ultimately, the collection serves as both a historical record of the Russian Revolution and a political toolbox for building a society rooted in solidarity, equality, and collective care.
