Abstract (en)

Analyzes the changes that occurred in the representation of women in public art, especially posters, 1918-1921. Identifies a trend from allegorical and symbolic representations of women, to images of the Bolshevik woman worker and the peasant woman. Argues that the transformation corresponded to the ascendancy of a new Bolshevik visual language which gave expression to the party's conception of collective identities based on class and gender.
