Women in Polish history

[Jaga]

I will be preparing the article about women in Polish history for Polish-American journal. I guess, this should show up in March edition (Women'd Day in Poland). I thought, it is important to list some of the important women in Polish history - majority of them were foreigners - just like Polish women made more contribution abroad by marrying foreign kings and dukes.

THe most important were:

Dobrawa - helped Poland become a Christian country. Read more about her:

Swietoslawa:

Swietoslawa - Piast Princess & Viking's Queen

Jadwiga

Kinga:

St. Kinga - Patron of Salt Miners

Bona:

and also French ladies like Maria Ludwika or Marysienka Sobieska

another Polish woman known abroad is:
Katarzyna Jagiellonka and her difficult fate sicne she was imprisoned

Jim,

I think that in order to see Jaga's column in the Pol-AM Journal, you have to subscribe to the newspaper. But then she can publish it on the website, a few months later.

Personally, I think it is worth the price just to read the articles about her Uncle Franek.

OOOPs I already subscribe to it... Thanks Nancy.

Jim,

did you see the articles in Baba Jaga's column? They are eventually published also here in our site:

Nancy,

I am not sure who else, this is what I picked for now

[jimpres]

I got my PolAm Journal with your article in it yesterday.

Jim,

I am glad, it is not about women yet But the main editor of PolAm wrote me an e-mail not a long time ago saying that I am one of the stars there

I will add my compliments, Jaga. You organize and run a good show with your forums. Is this the third or fourth that I have followed you to?

One feature I appreciate is the connection to regular articles covering specific topics. On many forums the same questions recur time and time again. I can see the advantage of having a topic thoroughly covered and referring a New-be to the article for basic information, to return for further discussion. More or less like a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section.

While most of us may use the forum most of the time for discussion, it is nice to know there is a solid (and growing) foundation of solid information on your site.

Good job.
