		Russian Bolshevik and feminist Aleksandra Kollontai recounted in 1920: “The conference decided that every year, in every country, they should celebrate on the same day a `Women's Day' under the slogan `the vote for women will unite our strength in the struggle for socialism'.”
		The efforts of socialists to organise working women to struggle for their rights in the early years of the 20th century stood sharply counterposed to the work of feminists from the property-owning classes.
		Kollontai noted in 1920 that the first IWD “succeeded all expectation.

		In March 1911 Zetkin, together with the Russian revolutionary and feminist Aleksandra Kollontai, organized strikes and marches of socialist women in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark and other European countries, celebrating the cause of workingwomen.
		The IWD, however, may be traced to an earlier March 8, in 1857, when the workingwomen of New York City marched in protest against poor working conditions, long working days and low pay in the city.
		A very famous march took place on March 8, 1917, when Russian women, led by Zetkin and Kollontai, merged with riots then taking place in St. Petersburg, the so-called February Revolution, which forced Russia’s Czar Nicholas II to abdicate.

		Two of the leading Marxist theorists of the nineteenth century, Friedrich Engels and August Bebel, had addressed the issue of the liberation of women, connecting it to the working class revolution.
		In the immediate aftermath of the revolution there was an explosion of imaginative and idealistic proposals to overcome all forms of exploitation and oppression, central to many of which was the liberation of women.
		In this seminar we will look at the development of Soviet theories of women, from the revolutionary feminism of Kollontai to the official theories of the Soviet state.
