Description

An extremely valuable and personal look at the life of one of the first Polish women to gain recognition in science and literature. A woman of indomitable spirit, Zofia Kovalevskaya shares in her memoirs the experiences of a time when she fought for her place in a world dominated by men. Her notes are not only a chronicle of her personal struggles, but also a portrait of the era, embedded in the rich social and cultural history of Poland.
The book contains reflections and descriptions of events that had a significant impact on the intellectual and artistic development of women in the 19th century. As a historical document, the publication offers a unique insight into the lives and aspirations of women, who were often overshadowed by men, while showing their determination and strength.
