Summary/Abstract: Natalia Astafiewa, a Warsaw-born Polish- Russian poet and translator who prepared a Russian anthology of Polish women poets titled Polskije poetessy, has opined that the twentieth century “belongs” to the extraordinary talented Polish women beginning with Maria Skłodowska-Curie (Nobel Award in Physics, 1903 and Nobel Award in Chemistry, 1911), and ending with Wisława Szymborska (Nobel Prize in Literature, 1996). Joanna Pollakówn (1939– 2002), a poet and art historian, is one of these remarkable yet little-known women. Her poems originated in the world of visual arts in which she was immersed as a professional art historian.
