Until very recently, writing on the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) concentrated primarily on the party's relationship with the Communist International (to which it was affiliated) and the Bolshevik leadership in Moscow. Far less attention has been paid to the actual men and women who made up the ranks of the CPGB and sought to establish the party's identity at a grass roots level. This article examines the experiences of women in the CPGB during the 1920s, particularly in relation to women's politics in the period, and with regard to the socialist traditions that preceded and partly informed the CPGB's early development. It argues that despite communist avocation of a party of a ‘new type’, the CPGB inherited many of the existing uncertainties as to the role of women within socialist organization
