Abstract
Published in 1863 and quickly censored, Černyševskij's novel What is to be Done? nevertheless became, according to a well- known definition by Kropotkin, the key text of the Russian revolutionary youth. Theoretician of a socialism inspired by the Fourier’s ideas, Černyševskij found in the French philosopher and in his own Russian context the inspiration to adhere to gender equality. What is to be done? thus became the opportunity to express, through the character of Vera – a pioneering figure in Russian literature – the great question of female emancipation.
