Gender and Politics in Revolutionary Russia
Book •
Elizabeth A. Wood examines the relationship between gender and politics during the Russian Revolution.
The book explores how revolutionary movements represented women, mobilized female activists, and negotiated assumptions about masculinity and femininity.
It shows that political transformation did not automatically eliminate gender hierarchy.
Wood connects women’s political participation with broader debates about citizenship, authority, and social change.
Hoffmann identifies the book as part of the innovative scholarship that advanced the study of Russian gender history.
