A review by catbrigand
Love of Worker Bees by Alexandra Kollontai

4.0

I wasn't sure whether to rate this as a historical document or a literary work, so I aimed for the middle. As a historical document, it is a prime example of communist feminism. As a literary work, it's engaging, but a little dialogue heavy (which is something I hardly say about anything). Mostly, though, Vasilisa's attitude toward her husband made me want to pitch the book through the nearest window, but it's also very telling of what was probably the average situation for many Russian women of the time.
