I've read Kristen R. Ghodsee's Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism. DISCOURAGE people from reading this book! I would rate it as 2/5, it provides some limited data, most of which shows that USSR and the Eastern Bloc was one of the best places in the world to be a woman, yet the author does not refrain from saying "we definetely can have the same thing without ToTaLiTarIaN government". She also vulgarizes Rosa Luxemburg in the last chapter, by saying that she believed that reform and revolution were different ways of achieving the same goal. I would take any recommendations on the "woman question" though, maybe except from Ultras like Kollontai who wanted to focus on universals and disregard the particulars (which Trotsky, curse his name, pointed out - focusing on universalization in the area of family, transforming the idea of "mine" and "yours" in regards to children leads to justifications of neglect of children, a shame he couldn't see the same universalization he was committing in the national question, by focusing on an ideal of an "international" revolution and interpreting INTER-NATIONAL as cosmopolitan)
