Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present women’s experiences, considered as different, different frommen’s, unarticulated earlier and therefore marginalised. The material subjected to interpretation hasbeen selected from autobiographical texts by women, created at the beginning of the 21st century.The authors are representatives of various professions related mainly to the media sphere, such aswriters, actresses, singers, journalists, but also sportswomen or simply “known for being known”celebrities. They talk about education in patriarchy, being doomed to perform specific social roles,and their addiction to men and family.
