Zusammenfassung:"In 1917, Madeleine Z. Doty, a feminist, lawyer, prison reformer, peace activist, and journalist, was commissioned by the magazine Good Housekeeping to travel "around the world" to get a view "behind the battle line" of how people on the home front, especially women, were responding to the war. Having found herself serendipitously arriving in St. Petersburg (then called Petrograd) as history was being made, Doty stayed in Russia for four months to document the revolution as it unfolded, as well as particular elements of life in revolutionary Russia that interested her, such as the justice and penal system and women's leadership. When Behind the Battle Line was published, critics noted that the Russian chapters are richest, but combined as they are with discussion of Japan, Korea, Norway, France, Sweden, China, and England, Doty's account of the Bolshevik Revolution has not gotten the attention it deserves. This book offers Doty's writings on Russia and the Bolshevik Revolution as a stand-alone volume."--
