A jednak czas intelektualnego zasiewu (O Wielkopolskim alfabecie pisarek pod redakcją Ewy Kraskowskiej i Lucyny Marzec)
Still, time to sow ideas: Wielkopolski Alfabet Pisarek (The Alphabet of Women Writers in Greater Poland) edited by Ewa Kraskowska and Lucyna Marzec

Summary/Abstract: The article is a review of Wielkopolski Alfabet Pisarek (The Alphabet of Women Writers in Greater Poland) – a collective work which is an effect of historical research in the field of Polish women’s writing carried out by academicians collaborating with the Center of Feminist Criticism (Pracownia Krytyki Feministycznej, UAM, Poznań). The review points out the most important assumptions taken up by the editors and the authors of the compilation , which determined the methodological consequences in the book – namely: the signifi cance of the sex/gender category and local context in both the production of literature and academic knowledge about it. Also the generic form of an „alphabet” – with its arbitrariness and variety – was analyzed here as the manifestation of a general principle chosen by the editors to provide a comprehensive view of the literary tradition created by women-authors who were (or are) related to the region of Greater Poland.
