Day 2: Monday 1919

Dear Diary,
The USSR Communist Party has set up Zhenotdel, the Women's Department in government, that is pushing a feminist agenda! Oh, I knew the day would come. Our party has also developed "women's liberation" which deems women full, legal and political equality, what a time to be alive! This new women's liberation enables women legal divorce, abortion, pregnancy leave and the ability to work for money. My husband will be so pleased when he comes home to hear the news. My mother would have been so happy if she was still alive, she always knew this day would come and I have not given up since.

 My life will be changing drastically from this point forward. Goodbye housework, hello job! The extra money will be good for our children's future as well. Although they are only boys, they are both growing fast and there is barely enough food in this house to satisfy them.
Until Tomorrow,
Anna ♡

Day 1: Sunday 1917

Dear Diary, Today us Russians have rebelled against their country, deeming us free!

This war has even been good for the those lower class men,  who have been integrated into the Red Army and the local governments. Our government has turned so friendly, and it's only day 1. Communism will be good for our country, and I personally believe ever country would benefit from it! As a mother of two messy, energetic, but sweet boys, I believe communism will help us women lead easier lives in our households. We shall be treated better, and even offered jobs in the workforce, to e...

Day 3: Tuesday 1930

Dear Diary, What an outrage! Take a look at this newspaper clipping. _________________________________________________________ JOSEPH STALIN ABOLISHES ZHENOTDEL! After male communists complaints and several citizens writing in to their government, Joseph Stalin abolishes Zhenotdel, a women's department in Russian government. We could not get Comrade Stalin to comment on the issue himself, but a communist party insider tells us, "Zhenotdel was a waste of time and money, women don't need to be in government. Comrade Stalin has made the right choice." Keep reading Communist Post to stay updating on this story. ___________________________________________________________________ I guess I set my hopes up too high. Turns out Communist Women's Liberation has it's limitations too. As well as my new employed job across the street, I'm still having to manage all the housework and childcare on my own because, according to my husband it's a "women...
