Women were furthermore not highly represented within leadership bodies. To be sure, there were cases of women that held prestigious positions within the Party. Firstly, Latinka Perović, a Serb woman, was Chief Secretary of the Communist Party 1968-1972, she was removed from office because her views were too liberal. Similarly, Savka Dabčević Kučar, a President of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Croatia 1967–1969, was also dismissed for being too liberal. She became co-leader of the Croatian Spring movement in 1970-1971. Most notably, Milka Planinc, a Croat, was the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia 1982-1986. She was the only female to assume the head of government position within the socialist system. Though the cases of these women demonstrate that it was possible for women to reach high positions within the Communist Party, it was by no means commonplace. In fact, Planinc became president “partly in response to criticism from local feminists concerning the continued low representation of women in higher party echelons.”
