Summary/Abstract: The article presents two literary representations of the Black Protest seen as a broader political and cultural emancipation movement. Barbara Klicka’s work "Sztandar, sztandar" problematizes the issue of a protest from the perspective of language – the subject of the poem, who, in the face of political events, decides to temporarily change her style. On the other hand, "Aborcja z miłości" by Dominika Dymińska focuses rather on the issue of affects as well as reproductive and emotional work, which is oppressively imposed on women in a patriarchal society. The nature of the Black Protest leads to the conclusion that all perspectives, if they are only based on the same axiological foundations, are equally valid and important, but each of them emphasizes a different aspect of emancipation.
