The Communist Valkyrie - A New Book About Kalentai

Alexandra Kalentai was the first commissar of social welfare in the Soviet Union, appointed by Lenin. She was instrumental in creating the legal infrastructure that allowed for women's emancipation and the socialization of care work which is usually done at home. We have a full episode about Kalentai that I did with you a while back, I'll link to it in the show notes. But there probably are some people that don't know who Kalentai is or never listen to that episode.
