Conventional historical accounts of European communism tend to
delegate women to the margins. By focusing on female industrial
workers in postwar Poland, Malgorzata Fidelis demonstrates that
women, in fact, were central to the making of communist society
both as subjects of policies and ideology, and as powerful
historical agents in their own right. This book uncovers a dynamic
story of political contestation between state and society, in which
ideas and practices of gender played a surprisingly pivotal role.
Through fascinating material ranging from previously untapped party
and secret police records to ordinary people's letters to the press
and oral interviews, the book offers new insights on the social
impact of war, struggles on the shop-floor, the challenges of
incorporating village girls into fast-moving industrial society,
the societal resistance against women entering male-dominated
occupations, and finally the unexpected consequences of
liberalization and reform.
