The Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917 and the ensuing communist regime have often been portrayed as a man's revolution, with women as bystanders or even victims.

Examining the gender-blindness of the educational tradition, this book tests the claim of superiority for the Scottish system, and questions the assumption that Scottish women were either passive victims or willing dupes of a peculiarly patriarchal ideal. It provides a comparative study of Scottish society during a period of tremendous upheaval.

This study considers the impact of the massive upheavals in women's working lives caused by industrialisation, revolution and civil war.

An analysis of the part played by women in the Russian revolution. It aims to show that the extent of female activists' participation in the events of 1917 was far wider that has hitherto been thought.
