Alexandra Kollontai remains one of the most original and necessary revolutionary thinkers of the twentieth century. A Marxist theorist, organizer, speaker, and writer of unusual range and brilliance, Kollontai brought questions of women’s liberation, labor, family, sexuality, social reproduction, and revolutionary transformation into the center of socialist thought with uncommon force and clarity. Her work refuses every easy separation between political economy and intimate life, between class struggle and the conditions of everyday existence, insisting that the remaking of society must reach into the deepest structures of human relation and collective life. This series gathers Kollontai’s writings as the work of a major revolutionary mind whose significance extends far beyond the familiar fragments through which she is often remembered.

Across essays, speeches, reflections, and fiction, readers encounter a writer at once militant and searching, disciplined and daring, committed to the emancipation of labor and to the creation of new forms of social life adequate to a liberated world. These volumes restore Kollontai as one of socialism's most vital and challenging voices.
