This pioneering book is one of the most comprehensive and well-researched studies on nineteenth-century Polish women prose writers, such as Hoffmanowa, Zmichovska, Orzeszkowa and Nalkowska. Borkowska's approach of major feminist theories and post-feminist thought results in astonishing findings that throw new light on Polish women writers and their contribution to European thought.
