Elaboration edited by Fr. prof. dr hab. Wojciech Zawadzki
“Many scientific studies presenting the role and position of women in modern Poland have already been published. This issue is still poorly recognized in relation to Royal Prussia. This area had its own political, religious, economic, social and ethnic characteristics. Many historical processes took place in the Prussian lands differently than in the Crown, Lithuania and Kresy. To what extent did these differences affect the everyday life of the women living in these lands? These issues were the subject of interest at a scientific conference organized by the Diocese of Elbląg and the Institute of Historical Sciences, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw on December 12, 2019 in Elbląg. The presented papers are presented in this publication”.
