Dunia Wanita (laporan CIA, 1949)
CIA information report, 19 July 1949: Dunia Wanita
CIA information report, 19 July 1949, saying Ani Idrus, labelled a pro-Republican Communist from Medan, would publish the fortnightly Dunia Wanita. Early sign of US intelligence watching women's press; the Communist label is probably a misclassification.
Laporan informasi CIA, 19 Juli 1949, yang menyebut Ani Idrus, dicap komunis pro-Republik dari Medan, akan menerbitkan majalah dua mingguan Dunia Wanita. Tanda awal pengawasan intelijen AS atas pers perempuan; label komunis kemungkinan keliru.
