Excerpts from a series of postcard illustrations by Stanisław Eliasz Radzikowski, c. 1910-1911. The series was inspired by various roles by actress Irena Solska (1877/78-1958).
A list of 100 remarkable women from Polish history - for the anniversary of the 100 years of Polish independence!
Myrandom choiceofnotable, inspirational and controversial women known from the history of Poland - people of various different backgrounds and occupations, and with interesting, happy or tragic stories.
If you think I missed an important person you adore or feel inspired by (there are so many more I could include below!), then feel free to expand the list by adding an extra in the reblogs! (I’ve been choosing people whose life is ‘complete’, so please take that into account.)
(you can click the links under their names to read a bit more, however some of them point to Polish articles only - sorry! I’m hiding the list under ‘read more’ for the reblogs because it’s obviously too long to be browsed comfortably on the dashboard!)
