| Description | The text deals with new stage of women s movement after 1952. The study is focused on formal organizational structure, ideological background, and discrepancies between their proclaimed goals and objectives and day-to-day practices. The study also presents evidence to the effect that, obvious efforts of the leadership of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia to support the women s committees and make them work notwithstanding, the outcome was quite the opposite. It shows the limits of capabilities of the power monopoly of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in post-February 1948 years, which somewhat contradict traditional interpretation models of the classical theory of totalitarianism. |
