PLEASE JOIN us in raising funds for the ninth installment of books in
the Comintern publishing series The Communist Women’s Movement,
1920-1922. To help raise $3,000 in special editorial costs, go to our
GoFundMe page.
Begun in 1983, the Comintern publication project has aimed to present
the Communist International under Lenin in its own words. To this end,
the proceedings and resolutions of the first four Comintern congresses
have been published, as well as preparatory volumes and other material.
This past June, the eighth volume was published: The Communist Movement
at a Crossroads: Plenums of the Communist International’s Executive
Committee, 1922-1923.
We are now working on the next volume: The Communist Women’s Movement
1920-1922. This volume will tell the story of how the Communist Women’s
Movement, under the leadership of Clara Zetkin and others, set out to
build something new in history: an international movement to fight for
women’s emancipation and to draw women into the worldwide revolutionary
struggle. The volume will be co-edited by Mike Taber and Daria Dyakonova.

At the heart of the book will be the proceedings and resolutions of the
Communist Women’s Movement’s 1920 and 1921 international conferences,
which have never before appeared in English. The full proceedings of the
1921 meeting, never published in any language, were unearthed for this
volume during a trip to the Comintern archives in Moscow. The $3,000
needed for editorial expenses relate above all to this archival work in
Moscow.
If you prefer to send a check by mail, please contact John Riddell at
jriddell63@xxxxxxxxx or Mike Taber at mikestaber@xxxxxxxxx.
Note that if you would like a GoFundMe donation to remain anonymous,
click on the “hide name and comment” box. Also, keep in mind that
tipping for GoFundMe is optional. Under tip amount, choose “other” and
type any amount or “0”.
In solidarity,
John Riddell and Mike Taber
