User:Socialisthistory/Feminism in Poland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This project will entail editing the history of feminism in Poland because it a subject with a lot of scholarship and not a huge, difficult to understand amount of content. This project is feasible because the parts of the article I want to edit are the sections under “Second Wave Feminism” which happened under communist and post-communist rule in Poland. They relate to socialist policies and ideas passed by the communist government of the time. The content gap is particularly evident in the section “Under Communist Rule” which ignores the role of women in the labor force during this time. Overall, the content I aim to fix some of the warnings of issues of neutrality, lack of citations, and a general lack of content about feminism in Poland in the second half of the 20th century. The scholarship that exists focuses on Polish resistance to Soviet rule and how the role of women both shaped and responded to changes in the system of government.


copied from Feminism in Poland -- section about Polish feminism during communist Soviet rule. Disputed neutrality, extremely short.

Under communist rule

[edit]

After World War II, the communist state established by Soviets in Poland promoted in propaganda women's emancipation in the family and at work.

Communist poet Adam Ważyk realistically described situation of workers (Including the female ones) in his Poem for adults.[1]

This period, known as the "sixth wave" of Polish feminism, was characterized by considerable propaganda advocating equality of the sexes and by massive women's participation in industrial production, agriculture, and politics. Poland had the first female government minister in the world.[2]

Julia Minc (wife of Hilary Minc) was president of the Polish Press Agency, 1944–54. Zofia Grzyb (a worker with elementary-school education) was the first and only woman member of the Politburo of the Polish United Workers' Party, from 1981.
