- Summary/Abstract:Intellectual activity of such women as Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim, Herrad of Landsberg, Relindis of Hohenburg, Hildegard of Bingen or Jutta of Sponheim testifies to the fact that medieval nuns represented a very high intellectual level, contrary to the conventional wisdom and frequently repeated popular misconception about the „dark ages”. As Johanes Mayer of University of Würtzburg noted, the activity of Herrad of Landsberg, Hildegard of Bingen or Hedwig of Silesia (educated at the Benedictine convent at Kitzingen) proves a very high standard of education, extensive knowledge and greater awareness among medieval nuns. One can say that the 12th century was a women’s era. Manuscripts written by the Polish Poor Clares are works of artistic merit. Analysing the works of women’s convents in the West of Europe and in Poland, in the field of theology, but also medicine, poetry or music, one must conclude that an average nun represented a much higher intellectual level than an average priest (not only in the Middle Ages). It is highly probable that Polish literature owes its origin to the 13th c. Poor Clares’ convents. The convents enjoyed a lot of independence, also from the bishop, and were able to defend their autonomy effectively, as shown – among others – by the Norbertine Sisters in Płock.

- Keywords:philosophy of asceticism; Desert Mothers; Euphrosyne of Polotsk; Euphrosyne of Suzdal; Macrina the Younger
- Summary/Abstract:Both the history of Christianity and its theology suggest that asceticism tends to turn into a kind of art while the ascetic becomes “the artist of God”. The early Christian anchorites, or Desert Fathers (and to a lesser extent Desert Mothers), were the very such artists. They shaped a certain moral and ascetic ideal, which, via Byzantine culture, had a particularly strong influence on the Old Russian mind. It was this type of Christian practical philosophy from which the Old Rus’ Christianity evolved. Some view the philosophy of ascetics as a “dark doctrine” (Nikolay Nikolski), but it had the capacity to perform some culture-forming functions: to shape a new (relative to pagan) religious worldview and to instil a new aesthetic sensitivity. What place did women take in this process? Did the writings available in Old Rus’ at the time (e.g., Life of Maria of Egypt, Paterik) have any female role models? Did they in any way influence either the bookmen or the women of Old Rus’? Does the history of Old Rus’ know examples of women who fit this ascetic and moral ideal? In the end, did these women influence the old Rus’ Christian worldview and the concepts of the Eastern Slavonic Orthodox philosophy? I will try to answer these and other questions in the article.

- Keywords:old hag; madness; ugliness; upside down; bawd
- Summary/Abstract:In the high and late Middle Ages, image of an old woman was used as a medium and carrier of a dominant ideology in scientific (medicine), theological (sermons) and cultural (literature, arts) discourse. Medieval and early modern vetula was not just a person. She was also a programmed rhetorical figure, a structure of the “politics of morality” clothed in a body. As a deceitful and deceptive “cursed old woman” (maledicta vetula), who shows stupidity understood mainly as impiety, a kind of madness, she became an improper image, a perverse one, an antithesis of a physical and inner beauty. It is anus ebria et delirans, anti-Beatrix – the one, who has the power to turn existing norms and behaviours upside-down.

- Keywords:old woman; artist; drunkenness; sexuality; madness
- Summary/Abstract:Throughout the centuries, the figure of a mad and drunken old woman (anus ebria et delirans) was a universal phenomenon for the whole European cultural community. The 19th century culture changed the old drunken woman – a figure of ancient origin into naturalistic, repulsive and dirty tramps, mad artists (Camille Claudel, Maria Komornicka) and sexually unsatisfied old shrews. The author of the paper recognizes these 19th century transformations of textual and visual image of a drunken and mad old woman as a consequence of the Enlightenment breakthrough. As a result, the figure of anus ebria et delirans became just a manifestation of human tendency to superstition, an empty sign, a negative reference point for the aesthetics that affirms a statuesque and devoid of repulsive physiological functions body. It was in that period that it lost its primeval association with death, rites of passage, as well as human mythological and religious way of thinking.

- Keywords:Lesya Ukrainka; literary image of the “new woman”; Ukrainian modernism at the beginning of the 20th century
- Summary/Abstract:“The question of women” was raised by Lesya Ukrainka in a well-known article of 1900 “Нові перспективи і старі тіні (“Нова жінка” західноєвропейської белетристики)”, which presents the literary image of a “new woman”. The text can be considered programmatic because the poet incorporated her aesthetic pursuit into her work. In Ukraine, at the beginning of the 20th century the modernisation of the literary process was influenced by the poet’s dialogue with writers of different artistic movements. Later this caused a reinterpretation of Lesya Ukrainka’s perception: her contemporaries perceived her as an intellectual woman who defied the principles of a patriarchal society.

She was also a personage full of contradictions; although nowadays she is usually presented as a person with conservative views, but she can be seen as a feminist for she consistently supported the right of women to education (including higher education), and professional work also in the prestigious intellectual field.

- Summary/Abstract:The aim of the article is to present the patterns of ideal Jewish women propagated in prayer books for women in Central and Eastern Europe in the 19th and in the first half of the 20th century. The analysis of the prayers written in Yiddish (tkhines), prayers of petition in German (numerous Gebetbücher) and in Polish (published by Elsenberg and Saulson) shows that the most important tasks and social roles were being a pious Jew, wife, mother and hostess. No attention was paid to secular education and also to preparation of girls for any profession. Only a few prayers can be interpreted as an inspiration to the women’s independence. The common religious patterns were identical in the orthodox, reformed and progressives Jewish communities, both in the big cities (including capitals), and in small towns – eastern Jewish shtetls.

- No. of Pages:24
- Keywords:rural women; family roles; vocational roles; traditional society; modern society; post-modern society
- Summary/Abstract:The purpose of the paper is to compare the family and vocational social roles of rural women participating in the process of the clash between traditions and modernization, from the post-manumission village in the capitalist economy through rural local communities in the period of socialism to contemporary open rural areas in the market economy. The paper presents the changing nature of the roles of wife and mother, carer and housewife in the family sphere, the owner and the labour force in the farm, full-time employee and business woman in the vocational sphere. The differences in the degree of burden in the family roles and the transformation of professional status of rural women resulted from objective political, economic, technological and cultural conditions in the changing types of societies. The highest level of burdening women with household tasks combined with farm responsibilities was found in the patriarchal family in traditional rural communities. Technical progress, economic development and political ideology in the industrial society influenced a new sphere of women’s vocational activity outside agriculture. The market economy has created opportunities for the independence of women in business, while demographic trends and institutional complementation of family functions reduced the scope of responsibilities in the family sphere.

- Summary/Abstract:The article is an attempt to delve into an exceptional type of bond that is formed between two generations of women: mothers and daughters. Russian contemporary literature (Olga Slavnikova, Maria Arbatova, Irina Vasilkova, Lyudmila Petrushevskaya) which is analysed here, portrays strong, exceptionally emotional, often traumatic relationships between mothers and daughters. On the one hand, we are interested in the description of this bond that reveals features of autobiographical narration. On the other hand, we consider this bond within the confines of interPgenerational conflict and external conditions that influence different perception of reality by both sides.

- Page Range:269-285
- No. of Pages:17
- Keywords:confession; woman; Rudkovskaya; Marinicheva; Kol
- Summary/Abstract:In numerous modern women’s “confessions” it is possible to find a “confession narrative”, rules of self-analysing, methods of subjectivation, phenomenological existentialism. The article analyses individual episodes of three autobiographical confessions, the authors of which are Yana Rudkovskaya, Olga Marinicheva, Lyudmila Kol – women of different professions, education and literary skills. Including the word “confession” in the name of their works, they all actually abandoned religious connotations, but did not refuse – to the extent of their understanding – a claim to frankness, documentary, and truthfulness of the narration. Their “confessions” are considered female due to various reasons, pursue different goals and are addressed to different recipients. However, in spite of the structural semantic variety of the texts the authors of autobiographical confessions share a common intention: they “make confessions, from which they later make books” (М. Фуко, Воля к истине: по ту сторону знания, властии сексуальности. Работы разных лет, Москва 1996, с. 158).

Women are the main heroes telling different stories, whereas men are in the background even though they have to exist in order to love them and have children. Love, friendship, maternity sometimes work are the most important things in women’s lives. There are not many happy heroines in this book: they suffer from loneliness, the lack of children, health and fun… In their opinion love and death are very similar to each other. That is why we look at these women from psychological point of view. Their feelings and emotions seem to be very complicated because life itself is not easy. It turns out that Russian women are almost the same as Polish women in modern times.

- Summary/Abstract:The share of morphological means in creating female personal names depended on whether a woman was single (a maiden), married, or a widow, or what social layer she came from. The names of gentry maidens were mainly derived from formants -ówna, and -anka. The most popular formant in the formation of feminine surnames among the gentry, both in case of married and single women (maidens) in the examined area, was the paradigmatic formant -a added to male surnames ending with -ski. Such personal names were used first of all to refer to wives and widows. Differences in the nomenclature of women from non-gentry and gentry are visible in the resource and frequency of the applied word formation means. The paradigmatic formant -(sk)a, characteristic of noble women, occurred among townspeople and peasants exclusively in the 18th century, and it is a derivate of changes in the nomenclature of men. What differentiates both non-gentry states from the privileged layer is the use of formants: -icha, -ka, and the paradigmatic -a.
