Summary/Abstract: The beginning of Polish feminism should be seen in the nineteenth century. The political situation at that time decided that the first activists became conspirators for regaining independence. Two stages of the birth of female emancipation on Polish soil can be distinguished. In the first of these, there were women such as BibiannaMoraczewska, NarcyzaŻmichowska and Emilia Sczaniecka. They initiated women's activity in social policy. They helped insurgents, sold illegal work and put a lot of emphasis on girls' education. The next generation of women, including Paulina Kuczalska-Reinschmit and Maria Dulębianka went a step further. Boldly began writing articles and brochures, and even publishing magazines. These women opposed the then family model and housewife. They fully began to self-determine about themselves, found associations associating the female sex, and finally to run for the parliamentary elections.
