Abstract
Feminism in Poland is not a Western import, a modem transplant of Western ideas. It is the result of the growing engagement by Polish women to change their own situation. Women may well adapt certain ideas from abroad to meet their own particular needs, but feminism is largely home-grown.
Fighting for women’s suffrage, we also hasten the coming of the hour when the present society falls in ruins under the hammer stroke of the revolutionary proletariat.
Rosa Luxemburg, 1912
