History of Women's Day

Since 1948 until 1956 when Soviet Union abolished officially Stalin policies this day was a final day of communistic competition for women. Polish women were undertaking the resolutions to exceed their working norms. They were expected to show a record of excellent work and a superb production results to their communistic supervisors. Polish newspapers were wishing women - excellent work efficiency. The portraits of women as work champions were hung on the walls of the factories through February and March.

 

Later, with the fall of the Stalinism, the government and the mass media started realizing that women were mothers and housewives but  they also had beauty. Although the government and newspapers still tried to convince Polish women that their role in building socialistic future was the most important, mass media and political communistic figures also were wishing women personal happiness.
