Summary/Abstract: The article offers an analysis of supra-individual biographies of eleven female precursors of education, adult education and social work, who lived and were active during the second half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries in several francophone countries (Belgium, France, Switzerland) and in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The text is based on the recognition that biographical lines obtained from reading the descriptions of life and activity allow us to construct a symbolically-perceived historical generation. Helena Radlińska was one of the members of this generation. These biographies were collected by a team of scholars working in the network Recherche en éducation et formation (REF) and published in the book edited by Françoise F. Laot and Claudie Solar (2018b), which is analyzed in the article.
