Ciało w fabryce. O Cygarniczce Artura Gruszeckiego
The Body in the Factory. About Artur Gruszecki’s Cygarniczka [Mouthpiece]

Summary/Abstract: The article is an analysis of the novel Cygarniczka (Mouthpiece) by Artur Gruszecki, published in 1904. It focuses on the situation of women workers in a cigar factory in Krakow, their submission to the factory regime, which is another embodiment of the patriarchal power over the female body. On the other hand, the article emphasizes the acts and microstrategies of resistance presented in the novel, proving the liberation of women from the patriarchal order. The interpretation takes into account the double emancipatory context at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries – both women and workwomen. The novel presents progressive solutions concerning the working conditions of female workers and is close to emancipated women.
