The aim of this text is to reflect upon Polish research on the art of women. The analysis focus on syntheses, published in book form, devoted to a group of female artists working at a specific time and place. This analysis shows the shape of research on women’s art in Poland, the consequences of it and the perspectives for the future.

The main purpose of the publication is to determine what knowledge was available to Polish women about the situation of women and feminist organizations in Europe and on other continents? What picture of the activities of these organizations was presented by the Women’s League press bodies? By using the classic method of analyzing and criticizing the content of the press, and as an auxiliary methodology of monographic research, it was possible to find answers to these and similar questions. Studies have shown, among others what role such organizations as the Democratic Committee of Bulgarian Women and the Democratic Union of Finnish Women played in the emancipation processes.
