The Iraqi Women's League was an Iraqi women's organization founded in the 1950s. Saddam Hussein's 1979 rise to power resulted in a crackdown on members of the League, which was forced underground. The novelist Iqbal al-Qazwini, in East Berlin as the League's delegate to the Women's International Democratic Federation in 1978, remained in exile there.[1]After Saddam's removal, league membership rose again: by August 2003 it had risen to five hundred women, though many of the younger members lacked organizational experience.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite book|author=Iqbal Al-Qazwini|title=Zubaida's Window: A Novel of Iraqi Exile|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0Ik4kjyXeCcC&pg=PT128|publisher=Feminist Press at CUNY|isbn=978-1-55861-745-2|pages=124–5}}
