¶ Association copy from the private library of William "Bill" Kardash (1912–1997) and his wife and political collaborator Mary Kardash [née Kostaniuk] (1912–1994), bearing their private ownership stamp to the half-title leaf. Married in 1940, the Kardash's were prominent early Canadian communists. William, a veteran of the Spanish Civil War, fought with the Mackenzie–Papineau Battalion against Franco’s forces before returning to Canada, where he became one of the first elected communist legislators, serving as a Manitoba MLA from 1941 to 1958—first under the banner of the Worker’s Candidate, later as a representative of the Labor-Progressive Party. Mary distinguished herself as a tireless political organizer, labor activist, and advocate for women’s rights. She served as secretary of the Winnipeg branch of the Canadian-Soviet Friendship Society and, in 1949, traveled to Moscow as part of the Canadian delegation from the Congress of Canadian Women to the Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF), a post-war alliance of women's organizations from the Communist bloc. Together, they would play a significant role in progressive Canadian politics, leaving a lasting impact on labor movements, social justice, and international solidarity efforts.
