Abstracts

EN

Found in the Lithuanian State Historical Archives, an unpublished letter of Eliza Orzeszkowa about women’s outfit (to an unknown addressee) served to – partially anecdotal – reflection whether Orzeszkowa herself followed the rules of a women’s dress code which she enlists in the abovementioned letter. On the basis of several prose pieces of the author of Dwa bieguny an attempt was made to answer a question to which extent the outfit of Orzeszkowa’s protagonists met these requirements and if it had any meaning during the process of creating the character.
