Similarities/Differences

Both Revolutions involved strong leaders such as
Vladimir Lenin from Russia and Toussaint
L'Overture from Haiti
Both changed their areas politically, socially,
and economically
Although the Haitian Revolution occurred before
the Russian Revolution in 1917, they are similar
in their causes
-both fought for freedom and equality

What About Gender?

Haiti-White slave holders over the African women
produced mulattoes.
Women were becoming physically exhausted in
Russia
Women were not conscious of the limits imposed on
their individual development or their fundamental
social rights
Gender oppression starts to be perceived as a
limitation of women's freedom when the capitalist
mode of production asserts itself
