Apostles Into Terrorists Women and the Rev

This book tells the story of Sofya Bardina, Vera Figner, Vera Zasulich, and many other who participated in the revolutionary movement between 1860 and 1880. They were populists who started out as peaceful propagandists and preachers among workers and peasants but who gradually turned to political militancy, terrorism, and eventually regicide. These women were also pioneers of female emancipation who supported feminist demands for higher education and economic independence for women.
