It is only recently that the role of women in history has been more fully recognised. In the early 1970s, the term \u201cherstory\u201d was coined to refer to history told from a woman\u2019s point of view. Although \u201cHerito\u201d always seeks to offer as much space to women authors and their topics as possible, we decided to dedicate the new issue entirely to women that were significant to Central European history, culture, politics, and arts \u2013 women often forgotten, underappreciated, or intentionally erased.
To tell the history of Central Europe from a woman\u2019s perspective and to \u201cuncover\u201d elusive stories we invited outstanding male and female authors. The result is an issue with more than two hundred pages, dedicated to bringing back the memory of poignant women narratives, heroines, and their accomplishments.
In the new issue, Olga Drenda examines the celebration of Women\u2019s Day in people\u2019s democracies. Ma\u0142gorzata Rejmer investigates the role of women in Albanian culture across many centuries. Osap S\u0142ywynski searches for the traces of Zuzanna Ginczanka and other writers of Jewish descent in Lviv, while Ma\u0142gorzata Radkiewicz writes about avant-garde artists that lived and worked in this city. Marta Madejska narrates the story of Maria Przedborska \u2013 an invaluable poet-inspector from \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. Teresa Worowska introduces the life story of Alaine Polcz \u2013 a Hungarian psychologist and writer, author of a touching memoir of the final days of World War II entitled One Woman in the War<\/em>, excerpts of which were translated for \u201cHerito\u201d by Karolina Wilamowska.
The issue also features Ewa Furga\u0142\u2019s text on the history of Polish women freedom fighters, Grzegorz Pi\u0105tek\u2019s essay about the previously unknown \u201cLe Corbusier\u2019s first Polish female student\u201d, as well as Jacek Dehnel\u2019s story about the role of women in the Polish uprisings in the 19th century, inspired by several unremarkable photographs, and Maciej Jakubowiak\u2019s text about instances of overcoming patriarchy in recent Polish literature.
There is also a notable atlas of Central European \u201cladies of design\u201d, created by Czes\u0142awa Freilich and Irma Kozina, Kama Buchalska\u2019s interview with the Czech publisher Barbora Baronova about women\u2019s oral history, Kriszti\u00e1n Ny\u00e1ry\u2019s essay about the pioneer of Hungarian feminist movement, Aleksandra Wojtaszek\u2019s text about the \u201cCroatian female version of Andersen\u201d, and Beata Nykiel\u2019s recollection of Karolina Lanckoro\u0144ska \u2013 \u201cthe ultra-Polish European woman\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
