Międzynarodowy Rok Kobiet 1975 na łamach „Kobiety i Życia”

Abstract

Until the 1970s, most publications in Kobieta i Życie [Women and Life] revolved around issues typical of women’s press, including maternity, household and counseling. At the beginning of the 1970s, the journal published more and more often about the social position of women. The subject of women’s activities in the public sphere, including political activity, intensified. It depended on the changes in the country’s political scene and personnel changes at the Kobieta i Życie editorial office. The issue of women’s low participation in politics was particularly often addressed in the 1975 editions. On the occasion of the International Year of Women, the Kobieta i Życie editors encouraged readers to become involved in the political sphere. The silhouettes of Polish political activists as well as women publicly active outside Poland were presented many times.
