Summary/Abstract: The article is grounded upon three texts: Marzenia i tajemnice by Danuta Wałęsa, Między nami by Małgorzata Tusk, and Towarzyszka panienka by Monika Jaruzelska. It reflects upon the genre studies oriented and rhetorical character of these texts, and a sui generis referential pact – a combination of autobiographism and biographism. The author also delineates persuasive elements – that is, an aim and a type of persuasion – connected to the subject of one’s own or someone else’s biography. The final part of the paper includes the remarks on the relation between authorship / co‑authorship (written autonomously, edited by…, inspired by…) and the final form of the text.
