The first Polish edition of the memoirs of Zofia Kovalevskaya – the most eminent mathematician of the 19th century, the first female professor at a university in Europe and a talented writer. “Memoir,” compiled and published in 1898 by Jadwiga Szczawinska, is a moving and profound record of the years of childhood and youth spent in a Russian country estate, showing the path of an outstanding individual to intellectual freedom. <\/p>\n
The book is not only a valuable biographical document, but also an outstanding literary work, in which Kovalevskaya analyzes with psychological precision her adolescence, family relations and the birth of her passion for science. This is an item of great cultural significance, which is part of the history of women’s emancipation and the history of world science. A rarity on the antiquarian market, especially coveted by collectors of biographies and women’s literature of the fin de si\u00e8cle period. <\/p>\n
