Originally published in 1919, Alexandra Kollontai's essays: Sexual Relations and the Class Struggle & Love and the New Morality study how the ways people relate to one another in their personal and private relationships are affected by the type of society they live in. Kollontai, a prominent Russian revolutionary, Marxist theoretician, and the first woman in history to become a cabinet minister, argued the need to place sexual and personal relations as a central issue for the Bolshevik party to take on following the Russian Revolution.
Alexandra Kollontai’s political work intersected women’s liberation and Marxist ideals in an attempt to eradicate the old Bourgeois morality and forms of family life to introduce a new morality of the working class.
Join us for a lively discussion on the relevance of Kollantai's ideas to our struggles today.
Discussion will be held at Christ Episcopal Church at 47th and Brooklyn N.E. in the University District and at the same time on zoom at bit.ly/srszoomlink.
