Socialist Women: European Socialist Feminism in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries

by Marilyn Jacoby Boxer

This collection of eight essays examines the relationships between socialism and feminism by means of brief biographies of twenty-six outstanding socialist feminist women in France, Germany, Italy, Austria and Russia. The bio- graphical sketches permit the authors to rescue some remarkable women, such as the early Utopian socialist, Flora Tristan, from relative oblivion, as well as explore the processes of poli- ticization to socialism and feminism.
