Summary/Abstract: The Social and Civil League of Women was established in August 1945. From the very beginning it was a pro-government organisation supported by the Polish Workers’ Party. Its purpose was to shape political and civic attitudes of women. Propaganda was spread through the press, at ideological courses, official meetings and ceremonies. A thorough analysis of propagandist activities of the League depicts a changing attitude of the authorities of the Polish People’s Republic to the role of women in society in 1945–1956.
