"The Communist Women's Movement (CWM), virtually unknown today, was the world's first international revolutionary organisation of women. Formed in 1920, the CWM mapped out a programme for women's emancipation; participated in struggles for women's rights; and worked to advance women's participation in the Communist movement. The present volume, part of a series on the Communist International in Lenin's time, contains proceedings and resolutions of CWM conferences, along with reports on its work around the world. Most of the contents here are published in English for the first time, with almost half appearing for the first time in any language"-- Provided by publisher.
