解説

Conceived in 1898 in Chicago, Illinois, the Polish Women's Alliance of America has risen to be the largest fraternal insurance and benefit ethnically based society of women. The national office is now located in Park Ridge, Illinois and there are chapters in sixteen states. More than 600,000 women have belonged to the PWA of A, whose original mission was to represent women as equal members with men in working towards the betterment of the Polish-American community. Its official publication, Glos Polek (The Voice of Polish Women), plays an important role in Polish-American life. This is the story, told for the first time in English, of the often-heroic efforts of five generations of women activists.
