Komisji Edukacji Narodowej w Krakowie}, abstract={This article presents the results of a study aimed at reconstructing the image of the woman citizen promoted in the women’s magazines in 1989–1992, the first phase of the great transformation following the collapse of Poland’s socialist system. Within the scope of the study were high-circulation magazines (over 500,000 copies), including the two leading weeklies “Przyjaciółka” and “Kobieta i Życie”. A total of 208 issues of every magazine published in that time span were analyzed. The methods used included content and textual analysis, complemented by the examination of some recurrent topoi treated as indicators of some inexplicit (hidden) meanings, i.e. the attitudes of women to the process of reform, their role in the agenda for change, and the barriers they came up against in the public sphere.}, type={Article}, title={The woman citizen of Poland’s transformation period: The image of women in Polish women’s press (1989–1992)}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/121475/PDF-MASTER/2021-04-RHPP-05-Szwed.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rhpp.2021.138331}, keywords={Polish women’s press in 1989–1992, Poland’s political and economic transformation, representations of women, women’s attitudes and motivation, the woman citizen}, }
