O roli kobiet w życiu publicznym XVII-wiecznej Rzeczypospolitej (w świetle korespondencji Katarzyny z Ostrogskich Zamoyskiej)
On the role of Women In The Public Life Of The 17th-Century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (In The Light Of Katarzyna Zamoyska Née Ostrogska Correspondence’)

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to approximate the public activities of Katarzyna Zamoyska née Ogstrogska (around 1600-1642), the wife of the second ordinate Tomasz Zamoyski (1594-1638), during the reign of Zygmunt III and Władysław IV. This inquiry intends to supplement known research, currently limited to few studies, link together, the political activities of the female representatives of the magnate elite of the first half of the 17th century and answer the question of the current stereotypical view associated with the alleged indifference of Baroque women to political matters and narrowing their prospects to only, private life (i.e. family matters, religious observances or, at most, to the magnates’ estate managerial and administrative activities).
