Dossier on POLAND

Summary/Abstract: Solidarity today – Success tomorrow In Poland, enormous mobilizations have been taking place since last summer. Free trade unions now have 8 to 10 million members in more than 50 major industrial locations. More and more population groups want independent organizations: peasants, students, civil servants -Solidarnosc for all! Students are organizing themselves The avalanche of the Polish mass movement has left no institution, no area of life in the old state. First the workers, then all sorts of layers and groups have tackled their organization. The universities are no exception. In addition to many professors and university employees who have joined Solidarnosc, the students have created their own independent representation within a very short time. Nationwide, 22 percent of the students are members of the new organization Niezaleznego Zrzeszenia Studentow (NZS) Polish Feminists When I heard about the existence of a feminist group in Warsaw, I was very curious: would the concept of a "Christianization of feminism" also play an important role in Poland, as in the case of the Leningrad women? [See »gegenstimmen« 1/1980]. The conversation was a very positive experience.
