Summary/Abstract: The question of feminism rarely surfaces in the world of celebrities, but even if it does appear, it is immediately disavowed with a repeatable set of clichés and stereotypes, both linguistic and social. “I love women”, “I don’t want to fight men”, “I like to feel like a woman” and – probably the most absurd of them all – “I like it when man hold the door for me” constitute a fixed set of sentences relating to one’s personal, or rather – by automatic iteration of meaningless phrases – non-personal but situational (and thus well-known and expected) stance on feminism. Against this background, the article examines the autobiography of Monika Jaruzelska (divided into three volumes: Miss companion [Towarzyszka panienka], Family [Rodzina] and Breath [Oddech]), which is especially interesting as she declares herself to be a feminist.
