Pressestimmen
"A very detailed life-story of this extraordinary woman . . . Cathy Porter has written a sad, serious, and very readable book . . ." —Tamara Deutscher, Marxism Today (first edition)"Alexandra Kollontai has the potential to be a true delight for the connoisseur by providing an alternative historical account of Russia and the socialist movement. However, what makes it transcend time is Kollontai's chief belief that women should be at the centre of the economy, not the periphery" —Spokeman"an interesting and detailed account of some of the most exciting years in working class history" —Socialist Review

The content of the book is very well written. One of the few biographys about a key player in the Russian Revolution and the leader of the women's movement ( and was the model on which women's sexual liberation, equal domestic and employment rights as well as political partisipation rights were based on). Alexandra Kollontai was also one of the very few individuals who had no qualms about challenging Lenin and the Russian leaders, and eventually rose to a postion of power within Stalinist Russia. Nevetheless, she came to believe that the revolution she supported and fought for had been betrayed.The biggest problem I had with this book was that the updated version add slightly more material but at the expense of deleting some eight pages of photographs. When I purchased the book, the review made no mention of the deletion of the pictures. I wish it had so I could have looked for another book. Overall, this doesn't affect the literary content of the book but it does affect the feel of it by removing images of this remarkable woman and key events of her life.
Alexandrea Kollontai (1872 - 1952) was the only woman in Lenin's government, and one of the most famous women in Russian history. She was a revolutionary who saw the revolution become less than she had dreamed., and throughout her life she passionately defeded its true ideals. She believed too that real political change could only come with a transformation in personal and family relationships.Her life, both personally and politically, was stormy. Born into the aristocracy, she became involved early in radical circles. And her life-long preoccupation with women's emancipation began with her painful decision to leave her husband and child. She worked tirelessly all her life, a brilliant speaker, writer and organiser, and her ideas are as crucial today as they were in her own time. This compelling biography records the life of a remarkable woman and the dramatic period in which she lived.Cathy Porter, its author, was born in Oxford in 1947, and grew up there. She spent a year in Poland before studying Russian and Czech at London University. Since then she has become deeply involved in the political life and intellectual ideas of the nineteenth - and twentieth-century Russia. She is the author of Fathers and Daughters: Russian Women in Revolution, and translator of Kollontai's fiction Love of Worker Bees (also published by Virgo). Cathy Porter lives in London and divides her time between translating, teaching literacy and researching into Russian history.This biography includes 8 glossy pages of black & white photography. In one of the photographs Alexandra Kollontai looks pretty and serious dressed in debutante's ball dress, aged 17.The paper back edition has over 400 pages of text. At the end of the book thereare pages of notes, a bibliography section and an index of word references.Another Alexandra in Russian history was the wife of Tsar Nicholas II, granddaughter of England's Queen Victoria. There is an excellent biography of Alexandra Feodorovna called The Last Empress, the Life and Times of Alexandra Feodorovna, Tsarina of Russia by Greg king.
I don't know why this is listed as a paperback and unavailable- but this is a wonderfully written story about a phenomenal woman. You can get the book here (why it doesn't show up in a search for Alexandra Kolontai, I have no idea.- Amazon, get your ish together!)Snapshots
