Sophia Smith Collection. Communism Collection, 1916-1970 (bulk 1935-1960).

Title: Communism Collection, 1916-1970 (bulk 1935-1960).

The Communism Collection consists of pamphlets, correspondence, journals, newsletters, organizational records, and newspaper clippings documenting women's involvement in socialist and communist movements in the United States, United Kingdom, and internationally, from the 1910s to the 1970s. Included are pamphlets and articles by and about individuals such as Ella Reeve Bloor, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Dolores (Pasionaria) Ibarruri, Zelda Kahan, Rosa Luxembourg, Betty Millard, Anna Louise Strong, and Clara Zetkin. There are also newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and fliers on topics such as the U.S. Communist Party's newspaper the Daily Worker, Communism in Great Britain, the Palmer raids, communism in the United States, and women and communism. These reflect both pro- and anti-communist perspectives on the activities of Communists and on politics in general. A large portion of material relates to the Women's International Democratic Federation and its American affiliate the Congress of American Women, documenting their activities and political perspectives at the local, national, and international levels. Documents generated by the Congress of American Women and its detractors, together illustrate the communists' efforts to organize a post-World War II women's movement and anti-communists' efforts to thwart them.
