Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on posthumous tributes published in ‘Bluszcz’ periodical in the years 1865-1918. The obituaries of Polish women were analysed, of whom the largest group stood out in the fields of literature, pedagogy, and philanthropy. The obituaries were characterised by didactics, which resulted in promoting the ideal of the so-called ‘Polish Mother’. Outstanding Polish women such as Narcyza Żmichowska, Eliza Orzeszkowa and Maria Konopnicka were given special attention.
