ABSTRACT
It was in this second phase of Communist Party history that a systema--
tic attempt was made to build Women's Sections along the lines of the
1921 Resolution, Communist Work Among Women passed at the Third
Congress of the Communist International. My research has led me to
take the view that there was a serious discrepancy between the official
position and the manner in which the party membership interpreted the
purpose and function of Women's Sections.
