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,[1] and the most politically left of the women's periodicals.[2] 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.[3]

It was re-organized in May 1917 as a Bolshevik journal administered by the Zhenotdel, the Women's Section of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, becoming their central publication. Later that year, its editors organized the First Conference of Working Women of the Petrograd Region (chaired by Klavdiya Nikolayeva, one of the journal's editors), promoting the Bolshevik cause in the elections to the Constituent Assembly.[4] From the start of the Russian Revolution of 1917, Rabotnitsa served as the official women's publication under the Communist Party in Russia.[5]
