Summary/Abstract: This article provides a prosopographic analysis of careers pursued by Polish female historians who acquired the status of independent scholars in the era of the Polish People’s Republic. In her survey of seven Polish universities: four founded after the Second World War and three older ones, the author tries to establish what influence on female historians’ careers was exerted by such factors as social background, political views, scholarly interests, academic achievements and gender prejudices. The juxtaposition of the newly established universities with the older and more prestigious ones has served to verify the thesis that the new universities provided better career opportunities for women.
