Did Alexandra kollontai campaign for women's rights?

Answer 1

Yes, she did. she was a Russian feminist and strong socialist who was the only female member of the Sovnarkom, the core of Lenin's Bolshevik reign of Russia. she worked towards the sexual and social emanciapation of women as the Commissar of Social Welfare and later the head of the Zhenotdel. She introduced my reforms and changes in Soviet Russia under Lenin, such as paid maternity leave and free child care - though many of these were ineffective with the lack of financial support. though she seemed to drop a lot of her radical ideas towards female liberty in the later years of her life, the social context of her working for the USSR under Stalinism and the oppression of a totalitarian society, it is understandable why she had to bend her views - to survive.
