Transcript | 11 INTRODUCTION of the Red Women's and Girls' Union of Germany. There were also women members among the delegations from the International Class War Prisoners' Aid, the Workers' International Relief and the International League of War Victims, the International League for Peace and Freedom, including Helene Duchene from the French Section, Helene Stoecker and Kathe Kollwitz from Germany, and Helen Crawfurd from England. For the less developed among these women, observation of the new life in the Workers' State meant a real awakening, a realisation of their own position and their own tasks. But all learnt a great deal from their visit. It is of particular importance that all these women delegates were unanimous on the question of imperialist war and defence of the Soviet Union. This was apparent in articles and verbal reports, and was expressed with unanimity and force at a Women's Conference which took place the evening before the Congress of the Friends of Soviet Russia in Moscow, presided over by Clara Zetkin and Krupskaya. At the time of the Congress all these delegations had already spent some weeks in the Soviet Union, had, in different Groups, visited the most varied districts of the U.S.S.R., had investigated factories of all kinds, had visited villages and mines, the innumerable new institutions of the State and Communes, Co-operatives and Trade Unions, institutions for the care of mothers and children, children's homes, hospitals, prisons, schools, clubs, theatres, in fact, they had seen as much as was possible of whatever was interesting and gave a picture of the new forms of life in the Socialist State. |
