Abstract
THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE, the executive body of the CPSU, was a heavily maledominated institution, although in recent years the number of women elected to it slowly increased. For instance, in 1981 there were 19 women (4%) among the 470 candidates (non-voting) and full members elected to the Central Committee, while 21 of the 477 (4.4%) members and candidates elected in 1986 were women.' Table 1 contains a breakdown of the 1990 Central Committee according to gender. In 1990 the percentage of women in the Central Committee nearly doubled to 8%; women accounted for 33 of 412 members (candidate status was eliminated).2
