The Quiet Revolutionary

Margaret Dewar

Margaret Watz was a schoolgirl in Petrograd during the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, then was forced to flee Russia as a result of the famine that would take place after the civil war. Turning socialist in Berlin, it was a dangerous place to be active and also be a vehement opponent of both Nazism and Stalinism, and was eventually forced to flee to Czechoslovakia and England. Margaret Dewar encapsulates her life as a woman in the middle of extremes, seeing herself as ordinary despite an extraordinary world.
