Redaktorki naczelne polskiej prasy dla kobiet w latach 1989–1992
Editors-in-chief of the Polish women’s press in 1989–1992

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research was to present the portraits of the editors-in-chief of the two most widely read weeklies during the first phase of the systemic transformation (1989–1992): Przyjaciółka [Best Friend] and Kobieta i Życie [Woman and Life]. The magazines were linked by belonging to the women’s press segment, the issues they dealt with, a high readership rate, as well as the charisma and entrepreneurship of the editors – Ewa Łuszczuk-Marek and Anna Szymańska-Kwiatkowska. It was considered important to verify the competences, interests and writing activity of the editors during the editorial management period. It was also justified to answer the following questions: 1) how did editorial offices strive for the loyalty of readers? 2) did political perturbations influence the change in the position of editor-in-chief? 3) were the editorial offices a party to a political dispute (ideological)?
