Abstract | During the October Revolution and ensuing civil war, a small number of Russian women journalists attempted to shape the outcome of the conflicts through both their journalism and active participation. Drawing on the case studies of the young Bolshevik writer Larisa Reisner and the anti-Bolshevik journalist and politician Ariadna Tyrkova-Williams, this article examines the dual roles women journalists held, and how they were shaped by attitudes towards war, gender and journalism at the time. In doing so, it demonstrates how the Russian experience challenges existing narratives of early women war reporters. [From the Author] |
