About this Item

KOLLONTAI, Alexandra Mikhailovna, [New Woman] [The New Morality and the Working Class] , Publishing House of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the Soviets R., K. Deputies, Moscow, 1919. TP + 3 - 61 + 1 blank leaf. Octavo. FIRST EDITION.A collection by the famous Russian revolutionary and feminist Alexandra Mikhailovna Kollontai. The author popularizes works of European literature that develop the "new woman" who defends her right to freedom of feeling. Contains three parts: The New Woman; Love and a New Morality; The Relationship Between the Sexes and the Class Struggle. Such ideas are considered an important part of the socialist and feminist thought of the early 20th century. The origins come from Kollontai's thoughts that declaring a woman equal does not make her equal; beyond making political and economic reforms, there is a need to revise the relationship between the sexes. While initially supportive of the Bolshevik revolution, Kollontai became increasingly critical of the unnecessary and controlling bureaucracy.Scarce.CONDITION: Good to very good in the original publisher s printed wrappers with edgewear and chipping.
