DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nSoviet women soldiers\n\n   While 
 this would focus on WWII, I would also do a brief overview of Russian women 
 combatants in WWI, the revolution and civil war.  Not many people know 
 that Russian women fought in relatively large numbers, compared with other 
 countries, in WWI and that after the revolution Soviet Russia was the first 
 country to officially endorse and recruit women into the Red Army in both 
 combat and support roles.  This was enthusiastically promoted by Lenin, as 
 well as female Bolsheviks. A little known fact: women fought on BOTH sides 
 during the storming of the Winter Palace!\n   Of course women always get 
 the short end, but among Russian revolutionaries from 1860 on they played  
 prominent, including leadership, roles in the various 
 organizations--terrorist, anarchist and Marxist.  This was in contrast 
 with other European revolutionary movements during the same period where 
 they were sometimes prominent, but never in the numbers and consistency as 
 in Russia.\n   Our speaker will be Al Sargis, Coordinator, Friedrich Engels 
 Institute of Marxist War and Military Analysis\n\nSun, Sept 17, 2017 – 
 10:30am-12:30pm\n6501 Telegraph Ave, Oakland (just North of Alcatraz 
 Ave.)\n\nFREE - but hat will be passed for donations to NPML\n\nAbout
