Abstract
This article analyzes the situation of Polish women immigrants in the United States in the 19th century who did not restrict their activities to the domestic sphere, fulfilling solely the role of mother and wife. In order to break down stereotypes, the text shows women in America as economically, socially and culturally active members of society who were able to organize themselves into coalitions and fight for shared values. As a result, they formed a joint women’s organization in 1898 – the Polish Women’s Alliance in America. This association, inter alia, provided insurance to single women, organized courses, and tried to maintain contact with Poland. As a result of these activities, other Polish organizations changed their attitude towards women immigrants.
