Reviews

This collection fills significant gaps in our understanding of the ways in which European socialism and revolution developed during and after World War I, adding the important roles played by women as well as gendered analysis of not only their actions but of the larger movements with which they were associated. A welcome contribution!
*Laurie Stoff, Principal Lecturer and Honors Faculty Fellow, Arizona State University, USA*

This volume ably covers a number of topics related to genres of protest and attitudes to change and revolution, as well as commemorative repertoires. by reading against the grain and taking a close look at the lived experience of women, this book offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of socialist revolutionary movements in early twentieth-century Europe.
