Hello everynyan, we're reading This Soviet World.

Week 11 we are reading Chapter 11: “The Freeing of Women.”

EPUB, a link to a PDF, and online reading options, can be found on Comrade's Library. If you find problems with the EPUB tell me and I will fix it. Dessalines has made an audio book.

Even those rights which they have attained are today under attack by fascism, which under the phrases of chivalry drives women back to the Middle Ages.

Another chapter that shows how history is repeating itself.

Also, reading this chapter i realised we have had a 100 years since the 1920s yet it doesn't feel like 100 years of progress has been made.

It really does feel like since the destruction of the USSR we have entered an era of the darkest reaction.
