Ewolucja celów Ligi Kobiet w latach 1945–1989 w świetle jej statutów
EVOLUTION OF THE AIMS OF THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN IN THE YEARS 1945–1989 IN THE LIGHT OF ITS STATUTES

Summary/Abstract: In 1945, the Socio-Civic League of Women (SCLW) had been established. It was a women’s mass organization which in the years 1945–1989 changed its name twice and the statute eight times. The mentioned period of time was significant for the changes of the political system of the country. In 1949, the League of Women continued the works of SCLW and in 1982 the League of Polish Women took this role. The article presents the changes in aims and tasks of the League in the years 1945–1989. In order to describe them, the organization’s statutes were used. Their analysis leads to the conclusion that the Women’s League was a tool to support the political system in the country at the time and to raise political awareness among women; at the same time it advocated for their broadly understood rights (improving qualifications, working conditions, professional and social activity). The evolution of the organization’s aims is presented against the backdrop of the key events in the country.
