Jaka jest kobieta współczesna i jaką się stanie w przyszłości? Ciągłość i zmiana: opinie, diagnozy i antycypacje w prasie dla kobiet w Polsce międzywojennej

Abstract

The interwar Polish press for female readers was creating visions of present and future woman. Journalists were showing social expectations, both traditional and modern. The former view was presenting woman as a good wife, mother, and a role-model for the future generations of Poles. Whereas the latter vision was showing female as an equal partner to a man in creating civilizational changes in the independent country. Press publications addressed to Polish women fulfilled an educative function, offering means and techniques of alleviating social tensions. Moreover, these articles were meant to create an image of a future woman, who is aware of her role in the society: private (household, social contacts) and public (work for common good).
