„Piękne słowo jest więcej warte od pięknego ciała”
Prywatne Gimnazjum Anny Rachalskiej w Przemyślu w latach 1911-1920

Anna Rachalska’s Private High School for Girls in Przemysl between 1911 and 1920

Summary/Abstract: The Private Middle School for Girls owned by Anna Rachalska, operating between 1911 and 1920, was the first successful attempt to create a school in Przemyśl enabling women to pursue university studies, which also provided an impetus for establishing further local forms of education for Polish, Jewish and Ukrainian women. The school premises were far from suitable, the teachers o­en changed and the institution’s significance in the public sphere of the city was limited. However, it is worth noting that the school mostly operated under harsh war conditions that were not conducive to high activity or consistent promotion policy. It was more of a typical private educational institution for women dependent on a variety of local factors, than one of the top High School in Galicia. Its complicated and short history shows the problems of a running private establishment in the di¯cult years of WW1.
