Summary/Abstract: The article is an overview of the female characters appearing throughout the pages of the works of Maria Komornicka, later known as Piotr Odmieniec Włast. Study shows how, over the years, individual psychological and philosophical features of the characters developed in parallel with the author’s ones. The blessed-cursed opposition becomes a key to finding subsequent presentations of the subject, which has its roots in the biography of Komornicka/Włast, what I have tried to explicitly point out in the presented discussion.
