Love of Worker Bees by Alexandra Kollontai

maravika's review against another edition

4.0

Beautifully and painfully honest look into the inner lives of revolutionary Russian women - I really enjoyed reading this and my heart ached for each of the heroines, just as it aches for every woman living today, still dealing with the same issues, but often without the hope and optimism that Revolution, and Marxism, brings. Oh how I long for us all to be finally liberated!

p.s. more communist babies in this world please!

CW: If you are a victim of domestic abuse or emotional abuse more generally, I recommend steering clear of this book. I had to read it for my coursework, but it was very difficult getting through it because of the accurate depictions of gaslighting, love bombing, lying, and manipulation.
