These pamphlets were published as the "Communist Programme Series", authorised by the Central Committee of the Australian Communist Party. They aimed to convey to a cross-section of Australians the Communist vision for the post-war world.
The New Deal for Women refers to the situation of women doing men's jobs,
Women's achievements in the war years have proved beyond all doubt their right to equality.
After the war has been won, Australia will face the task of re-organising the country for peace-time production. The skill and experience gained during the war period by the women will be needed in the execution of post-war plans.
The tremendous scope of industry in the post-war period should ensure the right of women to remain in the new spheres of activity where they have proved their ability.
Equality gives womanhood the opportunity for the highest development; it frees a great force to work in the interests of the nation.
Let us all work towards the achievement of it. (p. 30-31)
