I’ve been interested in Alexandra Kollontai’s work for a while, and would like to do some research and write about her at some point. But at the moment I’ve got so many other projects on the go that I can’t see how I can possibly fit anything else in. So, as a statement of intent pending actually finding the time to get properly into her work, here are some links.<\/p>\n

1. The Kollontai Archive<\/a>. A large selection of Kollontai’s works in translation on the Marxists Internet Archive. Alas, no Love of Worker Bees<\/em>, but plenty of other gems here.<\/p>\n

2. Alexandra Kollontai<\/a>. This interesting article by Helen Ward on the Permanent Revolution website covers Kollontai’s biography and work with working class women, and assesses her position as an opponent of ‘bourgeois feminism’.<\/p>\n

3. Communism and the Family<\/a>. A thoughtful review of one of Kollontai’s major works on Vulpes Libris, it examines her thinking about motherhood and the role of the community in raising children with a balance that is often absent from discussions of Kollontai. There’s also a link to a review of Red Love<\/em> on Vulpes Libris.<\/p>\n

4. Alexandra Kollontai and Red Love<\/a>. This article by Teresa L. Ebert on the Solidarity website provides an in-depth examination of Kollontai’s theories of love and sexuality, comparing her ideas to contemporary gender theories and showing the continued relevance of her analysis of the class basis of sexuality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
