A new release from Wellred Books looks at the gains made by-and-for women thanks to the Bolshevik Revolution. Natasha Sorrell provides a valuable summary of this process, discussing how communists can fight for the emancipation of women today.

The Tories have recently announced plans to provide extra childcare for parents. But with nurseries squeezed by cuts and inflation, this will do little to alleviate the pressures on families and staff. We say: make the bosses pay for this crisis!

As it stands, the majority of household chores and care duties fall on women’s shoulders. To end this burden, we need to transform society in order to automate and socialise these tasks. The fight for liberation is a fight for revolution.
