The Making of a Female Marxist: E.D. Kuskova's Conversion to Russian Social Democracy [Elektronische Daten] [Barbara T. Norton] Historians have traditionally overlooked the role of women in Russian Social Democracy. This article, based on archival as well as published sources, examines the radicalization of E.D. Kuskova (1860-1958), a long neglected participant in the Russian Marxist movement during its formative years. Kuskova was attracted to radicalism by its promise of a fulfilling life of service to society, and as an escape from the traditional, confining roles for women in prerevo-lutionary Russia. She came to Social Democracy after concluding that it provided a more satisfactory Weltanschauung and a more accurate diagnosis of Russia's socio-economic ills than did its ideological alternatives.
