Cathy Porter presents a richly detailed portrait of a woman who dared to challenge the might of Lenin himself, advocating passionately for workers' rights, free love, and the liberation of women within the heart of the Soviet state. Written with scholarly depth and narrative urgency, the book uncovers the political intrigues, personal sacrifices, and ideological battles that defined Kollontai's turbulent career, from her early revolutionary activism to her long diplomatic exile. Porter argues compellingly that Kollontai's struggles were not merely political but profoundly personal, illustrating the impossible tension between revolutionary idealism and the compromises demanded by power. A gripping and meticulously researched work, it stands as an essential account of a woman whose courage and convictions placed her permanently at odds with the very movement she helped to build.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893799792859,"sku":"2026200009087-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/48aeb8c4-b897-4e5e-85c6-56792b577bc9.png?v=1782039938","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009087-secondhand-alexandra-kollontai-the-lonely-struggle-of-the-woman-who-defied-lenin","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
