High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rabotnitsa (Russian: Работница; English: The Woman Worker) is a women`s journal, published in the Soviet Union and Russia and one of the oldest Russian magazines for women and families. Founded in 1914, and first published on Women`s Day, it is the first socialist women`s journal, and the most politically left of the women`s periodicals. While the journal`s beginnings are attributed to Lenin and several women who were close to him, he did not contribute to the first seven issues.
