Summary/Abstract: Women of Greater Poland in the nineteenth century – outstanding Polish women: Bibianna Moraczewska (1811–1887) and Emilia Sczaniecka (1804–1896) – can be considered the first Polish suffragettes. They devoted their entire lives to national, social, and political activities. They actively participated in Polish national uprisings. They took part in the independence movement’s underground activities. They were known and respected in wide social circles, often actively collaborating in social and national projects. They treated their activities as a duty towards the enslaved homeland.
