Summary/Abstract: The early Polish magazine for women, Tygodnik Mód i Powieści [Fashion and Novels Weekly], published from 1862–1915, devoted some space to the history of culture, issues of scientific progress, travels, and descriptions of foreign countries. This paper discusses texts referring to the matters of the ancient Near East as published in that journal. It includes a review and analysis of press materials examining various threads on this heritage such as notes, reviews, announcements, articles, digressive travel reports, fiction, etc. These are presented in the context of the specific kind of press and former understanding of 19th century women’s intellectual needs. The research was categorized into decade-long sequences. The more important or characteristic publications are synthetically discussed. The conclusion presents statistical reflections, information on the distribution, and transformations of forms regarding the issues studied.
