Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the determinants of adulthood and the ways of its experiencing. The research was carried out by in-depth interview. Three women from the same family, representing three generations were interviewed. Two research problems were formulated:What are the determinants of adulthood in women’sopinion? and In what way women experienced adulthood? Although they came from the same family, women described and experienced adulthood rather differently. Three indicated cases illustrate the maturation process of emancipation – in each of the interviews can be seen the other aspect of it.
