Noonan reviews 'Ideas and International Political Change: Soviet/Russian Behavior and the End of the Cold War' by Jeffrey T. Checkel.

An overview of major solutions to the "woman's question" advocated by Marxist women in prerevolutionary Russia, focusing on a comparison of images espoused by Alexandra Kollontai & Nadezhda Krupskaia. Dialogue on the woman's question is set against the backdrop of the revolutionary agenda, on the one hand, & the reformist feminist movement of the early twentieth century, on the other. Kollontai's ideal of the "new woman" is contrasted with Krupskaia's "worker-mother" model, arguing that the latter image formed the basis for policies adopted in the USSR & remained unchallenged until the era of glasnost', despite wide-spread recognition of women's burdens. Some alternative perspectives on the woman's question that have emerged in recent years are also reviewed. 34 References. Adapted from the source document.
