A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"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
