The initial accomplishment of th is association was to make possible the printing and distri bution of thousands of special proclamations calling upon U k rainian women to exercise their newly-won righ t by m assive par ticipation in the subsequent pro vincial elections, thus m an ifest ing the m aturity of progressive forces in their adopted country.
