Kollontai, Alexandra

Kollontai, Alexandra (1872–1952)
A leading feminist in revolutionary Russia. Her main concerns linked class and revolutionary activity to woman's role and motherhood. Always controversial, she is most noted in sociology for her free-thinking radical analyses of sex and love, which are usefully appraised in Beatrice Farnsworth's Alexandra Kollontai (1980).
