| dc.description.abstract | When considering the issues related to the fi ght for women’s
political it is not possible to disregard some of the most important factors
determining the level of women’s participation in political life. As regards
scientifi c discussion on the presence of women in government roles, the
most frequently cited reason contributing to lesser representation of
women are biological, social, ideological, structural, cultural, religious
and economic factors.
100 years have passed and women, who account for slightly more
than a half of the Polish society, still have too low representation in the
parliament, in many cases their salaries are lower than those of men at
similar positions, they play specifi c social and professional roles assigned
on the grounds of sex, and still some people try to marginalize them
professionally and deprive of their freedoms. The aim of this text is to
analyze premises for the establishing of the Association of Congress of
Women and results achieved over the past ten years. The main objectives
adopted for purpose of the text include the verifi cation of demands set
by the Association and their implementation, and the analysis of its
activity in terms of socio-political changes. Content analysis was used
as the method. | en_US |
