Treści propagandowe rozpowszechniane przez Społeczno-Obywatelską Ligę Kobiet/Ligę Kobiet na podstawie pisma „Poznajmy Prawdę” (1946-1952)

Abstract

The League of Polish Women was established in 1945 and from the very beginning it was a pro-governmental organization. That is why their members disseminated communist propaganda in Poland. The propaganda took numerous forms but one of the most popular was through newspaper and magazine articles. The magazine “Poznajmy Prawdę” (Learn the Truth) was being publishing from 1949 to 1952. It was addressed to social leaders, who were supposed to disseminate the communist agenda in Polish female environments. The aim was to persuade women to support the new political authorities. In order to achieve that they discussed positive effects of communism on the country and society, and the resulting benefits for women. The authors of many articles wrote about emancipation of women in communist Poland and in the Soviet Union emphasizing that the level of emancipation in those countries was higher than in the West.
