- Abstract
The paper aims to analyse the second "block", mentioned in the statutes of one of the most popular female sociopolitical organisations, the Latvian Women's Association, with a case of its branch of Liepāja city -- Commission for the promotion of women's welfare in Liepāja -- female political agency. The paper continues research published in 2021. In interwar time, female success at the elections in the Parliament of Latvia (Saeima) was related to unifying in the "Common female list". Predictably, in the second most significant cultural and political centre, Liepāja, massive competition for the members and influence in society of the most significant organisation could be observed, and female organisations were not an exception.
