Abstract
A Socialist Revolutionary (SR) terrorist revered as a heroine and martyr across Russian society in 1906, Mariia Spiridonova became as well a dangerous ‘hysteric’ to her political opponents in 1917–18, whether liberal, moderate socialist or Bolshevik. This article argues that Spiridonova as a controversial historical figure must be examined in the context of the turbulent events and highly polarized politics of revolutionary Russia, where political freedoms were new to men and women alike, and few female socialists ventured to take a public role in party and government affairs.
