Red Valkyries. Feminist Lessons From Five Revolutionary Women - Kristen Ghodsee - książka

"Red Valkyries" delves into the heritage of socialist feminism across Eastern Europe by chronicling the journeys and contributions of five influential women from the 19th and 20th centuries. This group includes Alexandra Kollontai, an aristocrat who became a Bolshevik; Nadezhda Krupskaya, a revolutionary educator; the passionate and non-conformist Inessa Armand; Lyudmila Pavlichenko, a fearsome sniper; and Elena Lagadinova, who transitioned from being a partisan to a scientist and eventually a global advocate for women's rights. Kristen Ghodsee presents these narratives through concise and engaging chapters, making the foundational concepts of socialist feminism understandable for those drawn to the liberating ideals of left-leaning feminist movements worldwide.
