It is the duty of every Communist Party to convene women delegate meet- ings, and to use these meetings as a means of train- ing a body of active non-party working women to serve as contacts with the masses, to train active women Party members to serve as substitutes for men for Party work in war time, and to recruit as many women as possible for Party work in order to diminish the divergence of the numbers of women employed in industry and the number of women members of the Party.” The organization of struggle for the special de- mands of women is, therefore, an exceedingly im- Eugene Schoenhof, Dr. Wachs, Dr. Fligel, Dr. Gruder, Dr. Koessler.
