“…Boy-Żeleński and Budzińska-Tylicka, whom Zajdlicz directly mentioned in the first edition of his publication, highlighted the congruity between The discovery of Dr Ogino and liberal and socialist stances on the role of sex in marriage. 70 In this acknowledgement of the importance of sex in creating and maintaining the marital bond, Catholic authors such as Zajdlicz resembled liberal and socialist activists and journalists. 71 Such a stance was also visible in publications of foreign authors connected to the Protestant or reformist milieus and denominations, some of which eased their position on contraception prior to the publication of Casti connubii, referring among other things to marital sexuality in their rationales.…”

This article explores continuities and discontinuities in Polish Catholic discourses on family planning across a time span that tends to be divided in the historiography on Poland and political history in general. The period we analyse begins in 1930, with the pivotal encyclical Casti connubii defining church doctrine on contraception, and ends with the legalization of abortion in 1956, and a state-sponsored family planning campaign the following year. In order to reconstruct Catholic teachings on marriage and family planning we examine advice publications that received official church approval, paying particular attention to their gendered dimensions, the emphasis placed on marriage, and the ‘calendar’ method. Although our research includes three politically and socially distinct periods, we argue that the content of Catholic teachings on family planning in Poland was consistent throughout. We also show that, although there were some distinct national characteristics, the Polish Catholic discourse on family planning resembled to a great extent the developments in other countries, particularly in regard to visions of marriage and sexuality. As we delineate, by engaging in the discussion on family planning, Catholic authors acted as active constructors of modernity, construed in both periods in relation to science and nationalism.

“…In her article "Why Is There No Gender History in Poland?" (2010), Sylwia Kuźma-Markowska claims that "the weak position of women's history" and "virtual nonexistence of gender history" in Polish academia should be linked to "the dominance of political history, resistance to theory, a general lack of interdisciplinary approaches, reluctance to feminism, structural inflexibility and hierarchy that characterize Polish universities" 39 . She convincingly identifies numerous obstacles to studying gender history in Poland and publishing on it in the major Polish historical periodicals.…”

Unlike American historians challenging the marginalization of women since the 1970s and theorizing usefulness of gender for history, the majority of Polish historians have been rather reluctant to address gender differences. The collapse of communism and transatlantic interest in retraditionalization stimulated interdisciplinary engendering of Solidarity. This article examines how significant, though strategically invisible, Solidarity women activists of the 1980s have been represented in oral history, art, and film as well as dialogical genres such as auto/biography and a relational memoir. Questioning of mythical visions of Solidarity, focused on men and class, has initially been resisted, but encouraged a debate about gender stereotypes in Poland. The early “archive fever” followed by a recent surge in transgenerational life writing on women oppositionists exploring gender along with ethnicity, class, and age has helped to construct multi-layered portraits of anti-communist resistance. The analysis of the award-winning documentary, several Solidarity women evaluate critically their complicity with the posttotalitarian system, may also complicate ultranationalist narratives and fill gaps in postcolonial studies of Central Europe.

“…Niezwykle istotną rolę w tym zakresie odegrały hasła feminizmu liberalnego (zwanego feminizmem "głównego nurtu" 40 ), którego prekursorką była Betty Friedan, autorka książki Mistyka kobiecości, której publikację w roku 1963 uznaje się za początek "drugiej fali" 41 . Miał on na celu "zintegrowanie kobiet ze strukturami amerykańskiego społeczeństwa w sferze społeczno-politycznej i edukacyjnej" 42 . Kobiety należące do tego ruchu z pełną świadomością i determinacją, uciekając się niekiedy do bardzo kontrowersyjnych działań, dążyły do uzyskania równego z mężczyznami statusu, wyrażającego się np.…”

ABSTRACT. Szymczak Emilia, "Dziewczyny na politechniki" -analiza wybranych przekazów reklamowychNowadays it is difficult to clearly define what still belongs to strictly masculine domain and what no longer belongs to it. Considering the fight for women's social equality as well as a number of socioeconomical strategies, practices and tendencies we can say about successive pushing back the boundaries and discovering more distant areas of knowledge, education and realisation of occupational duties. Broadly defined commercial messages that contribute to promoting occupations which are non-stereotypically feminine are the subject matter of this article. Its aim is also to present how, through these kind of social practices, women's attention is attracted to other, as yet inaccessible to them majors, educational areas as well as which techniques are used firstly in order to direct women's educational preferences and then their occupational aspirations as effectively as possible.Key words: women, education, masculine educational areas, commercial messages, occupational stereotypes, sex barriers We współczesnym świecie trudno jednoznacznie określić, co jeszcze należy do dziedzin typowo męskich, a co już nie. Biorąc pod uwagę walkę o równość społeczną kobiet oraz szereg strategii, praktyk i tendencji o charakterze społeczno-ekonomicznym, możemy mówić o sukcesywnym prze-
