Summary/Abstract: The author of the text draws particular attention to the place the book Czy w tej autobiografii jest kobieta? Kobieca literatura dokumentu osobistego od początku XIX wieku do wybuchu II wojny światowej occupies in contemporary research on women’s autobiography. She notes that women’s literature of personal document is not yet sufficiently discussed by the Polish feminist literary criticism. Anna Pekaniec takes a comprehensive attempt to examine women’s autobiographical texts in historical and literary perspective and as a main goal focuses on presenting and describing the characteristics of women’s autobiography, as well as outputing a proposal for a definition or systematization of phenomena typical for women’s autobiographical documents. The author of the text points at the innovation of the thesis – for the first time the issue of women’s intimate journaling was raised on such a wide scale, indicating the directions in familiar and unfamiliar texts, expanding the research field for female representatives of different backgrounds, of different social status.
