The Emancipation of Women

“In the course of his revolutionary activities Lenin often wrote and spoke about the emancipation of working women in general and peasant women in particular. To be sure the emancipation of women is inseparably bound up with the entire struggle for the workers’ cause for socialism. We know Lenin as the leader of the working people as the organiser of the Party and Soviet government as a fighter and builder. Every working woman every peasant woman must know about all that Lenin did every aspect of his work without limiting herself to what Lenin said about the position of working women and their emancipation. But because there exists the closest connection between the entire struggle of the working class and improving the position of women Lenin often — on more than forty occasions in fact — referred to this question in his speeches and articles and every one of these references was inseparably bound up with all the other things that were of interest and concern to him at the time.” – N.
