Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the journalistic activity of Antonina Smiszkowa (1858 - 1934), a Polish-Czech writer, educator, educational activist of the second half of the 19th century, who propagated the knowledge of geography, history, culture and social issues of the Czech Republic, Moravia and Slovakia. The article discusses Smiszkowa’s Jak żyją w Czechach. Zwyczaje i powiastki czeskie (1889), a booklet addressed to the Polish people in which she promoted models of modern farming and introduced Polish peasants to the organization of education, culture and folklore of the Czech countryside. With her subsequent publications on the Czech Republic, O Czechach, ich kraju i życiu (1895) and Czechy i naród czeski (1904), which presented a much richer folkloristic and social material, she became involved in the Czech national revival movement, emphasizing the important the role of the Czech woman in it.
