Violent movements opposing existing political orders erupted throughout nineteenth-century Europe, but nowhere was this revolutionary impulse made more dramatically visible than in Russia. "Five Sisters" - first published in 1975 - presents English translations of the memoirs of five of Russia's most renowned female revolutionaries - Vera Figner, Vera Zasulich, Praskovia Ivanovskaia, Olga Liubatovich, and Elizaveta Kovalskaia. Engel and Rosenthal have added a new introduction and an updated list of suggested readings. A welcome reboot of a widely read classic, students and specialists of Russian history and women's studies will find this collection to be a fascinating record of tumultuous times.
