The Woman Worker

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (27781 ratings)

Description:The Woman Worker was originally published and circulated in 1901 before being banned following suppression of the 1905 revolution. It was republished in 1925 with a new preface by the author (included in this translation). Its significance stems from being the first Marxist work on the situation of women in Russia. The author analyses in some depth the causes of women’s lack of rights under tsarism. She calls on women to join the ranks of fighters for a better life, as equals and alongside men workers. “The woman worker is a member of the working class” she writes “and all her interests are closely tied to the interests of that class.” Krupskaya vividly describes the plight of peasant women in the family, their powerlessness and wholesale dependence on the husband. “The woman is ‘brought into the house’” she writes. “That is why the person of the woman is rated so low, and why according to peasant custom the woman is seen as property, which is valued in the main only for her capacity for work.” The Woman Worker continued to be published in Soviet times, in the first volume of Krupskaya’s complete works published in 1957 by the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the The Russian Soviet Federative SocialistRepublic and republished in 1964.In other words, The Woman Worker though never lost, was neglected and has not been published separately since 1925, but solely as part of anthologies of Krupskaya’s writing. While short extracts have been translated in English in the context of debates (on prostitution, for example), the whole pamphlet has never before been translated into English (in common with many other works by Russian revolutionaries).We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
