V.I. Lenin
(1870-1924)
Though Lenin did not write a great deal in terms of volume on women's issues, he is widely known and quoted for his firm conviction that no revolution is possible without the participation of women. He encouraged men to support women's participation in politics. Married to Russian revolutionary, N.K. Krupskaya.
