The role of women in the Russian Revolution from antecedents to legacy

Abstract

At the beginning of the 21st century, the feminist agenda continues to be current in a context in which women remain the privileged target of situations of violence being victims of exploitation, oppression, rape and homicide. Today, however, feminist movements present a political sprawl that does not always recruit the feminist youth to the revolutionary frontiers in confronting the capitalist system in your totality.  In the midst of the multiplicity of feminist political currents runs the risk of losing the heritage of class feminism. In this sense, after 100 years of the Russian Revolution we will seek to return to this legacy by highlighting the role of women in a society that has just emerged from absolutist tsarism, based on a rural economy with strong patriarchal traits. From this legacy we intend to collaborate with a political praxis in contemporary times that breaks with barbarism and retakes human emancipation as a becoming.
