Proletarian Feminism

The Social Basis of the Women Question – Alexandra Kollontai

The book The Social Basis of the Women’s Question was written shortly before the First All-Russia Women’s Congress, and published in St Petersburg in 1909. In it, Alexandra Kollontai provides a detailed analysis of this issue from a Marxist point of view.

This is a text written by Anuradha Ghandy, also known as Avanti. She was spearheading the proletarian feminist movement in India, and was a Central Committee member of the underground Communist Party of India (Maoist). This text is considered to be one of the seminal proletarian feminist texts.

Feminist spaces are increasingly focusing on trans inclusion, but many lack the theoretical ability to justify inclusion in a way which does not reiterate outdated and dangerous conceptions of identity.
