The author was a socialist who spent over four decades in prison and Siberian exile for peaceful opposition to Tsarism, acquiring, in her latter years, international stature as a political prisoner. She was known as the "grandmother of the Russian Revolution". Freed by the Provisional Government that took office after the February Revolution of 1917, she became one of the most committed and high-profile supporters of the Kerensky government. When it was overthrown in November by the Bolsheviks, she went into exile, and ended her years in Paris.
