By Leon Trotsky
A collection of writings and speeches by the great Russian revolutionist Leon Trotsky, examining the effect of the Russian revolution on the condition of women and the development of the family. Trotsky was among the first to discuss the problems of socialist cultural construction, and especially to deal with the specific problems of women in a post-revolutionary society. He takes up many of the questions that are today being raised by the women's liberation movement: the role of women in society, the relationship of socialism to feminism, the social role of the family, alternatives to family life, changes in sexual morality & others.
