Summary/Abstract: The article concerns Zofia Nałkowska’s book that had been never finished and is dedicated to her father Wacław Nałkowski. It starts with the memory of his last living moments which are placed in the context of other similar memories noted by feminist writers (Nancy K. Miller, Grażyna Borkowska, Inga Iwasiów, Erica Jong and Susan Faludi). Next I mention about the relationship between Nałkowska and her father. And followingly – about the method of working on the book effected in several articles. Contents of the book about the father publicated in press are interesting texts due to text categorization. Most of all they constitute biography, but also autobiography. The textual diversity makes them closer to silva rerum and essay too.
