When Alexandra Kollonta :
(1872-1952) became Commissar for Social Welfare in Lenin's first cabinet she was the only woman member of a modern government. Lenin valued her propagandist skills and in those heady, chaotic early days perhaps turned a blind eye to her insistence that 'the personal is political'. Soon, however, Kollontai's fiercely uncompromising democratic ideals brought her into conflict with her leader and the Party.
