metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: After the First World War, a new idealised perception of a woman-Communist arose due to
  fundamental political and social changes in the Soviet Union, which served as a desired horizon
  for working women, mothers, sympathisers, and voters adhering to the Communist Party
  in Czechoslovakia during the interwar period. More broadly, this newly emerged idealisation
  also shaped gender relations. The aim of this study is to characterize the image of an ideal
  Soviet woman and a communist, as both presented and produced within the Slovak women’s
  communist movement in the 1920s. In doing so, I will examine texts, speeches, and reactions
  published in the Communist women’s biweekly “Proletarka”, whose primary audience was
  female. A new role model of a woman reflected idealized Soviet state and a Soviet woman’s
  lifestyle. At the same time, it employed a rather simplified referential framework of the Marxist
  canon, consisting of writings of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and mainly Vladimir I. Lenin.
  Within a conservative and mostly rural Slovak environment, such an idealised image of a new
  communist woman as well as the interrelated ‘revolutionary’ idealisation of both marriage and
  motherhood represented a mobilising potential of a questionable, if traceable, force. On the
  contrary, it could provoke rather controversial reactions from the targeted recipients.
