Summary/Abstract: The Soviet government attached great importance to work among women. First of all, this was explained by the desire to involve women in active party-soviet, trade union and komsomol work. The most common form of such work was delegate meetings, which arose in the early 1920-s and were an active form of involving women in the socio-political life of Soviet society until the mid-1950s. Delegate meetings, as a form of social organization of women, used such forms of activity as theoretical – the study of the works of the classics of Marxism-Leninism and prominent figures of the party and government, and practical – the selection and promotion of women to leading partysoviet, trade union, and economic work.
