About
The Federation was so heavily Communist in its character so that as at March, 1982, it had nearly lost its former character as a front involving non-Communists. That role, more and more, began to be taken by the Women's International League for Peace & Freedom which has been so heavily penetrated by Communists that last year it was made an affiliate of the World Peace Council, as is the Women's International Democratic Federation. During the 1960s, the U.S. WIDF affiliate was Women Strike for Peace; however, in the mid-1970s, the Communist Party USA established a new women's front, Women for Racial and Economic Equality, now the official WIDF section.[1]
