A.k. 47 - Selections From The Works Of Alexandra Kollontai

In this episode, Kristen Ghodsee discusses the fraught historical relationship between left movements and women's emancipation. As the case of Kollontai shows us, revolutionary men do not always remain committed to women's issues after the revolution has been accomplished. Mentioned in this essay is this article about August Bebel from Jacobin Magazine.Thanks so much for listening. This podcast has no Patreon account and receives no funding.
