Chapter 4
Poland, you aren't
a slave any longer!
But are the supreme
thing to be: Yourself!
Leopold Staff, poet

radical action

Woman has passed the test,
equaling man in almost
every field. Now, having
proven her power, it is her
right to admit her frailty.

Who hasn't gone through
these quickening days, who
hasn't in these days gone
mad with joy with the entire
nation, won't experience the
greatest joy of their life.

of Poland 1918-19
I feel compelled to be
as modern as possible.
Zofia Nałkowska, writer & feminist
All day long, the streets are
packed… From the midst of
it, Poland materializes. And
no one sees how beautiful
she is. No one beholds her
amidst the tumult.
Maria Dąbrowska, writer
