This article is dedicated to a great Polish composer, woman, forgotten by the Polish society.TeklaBądarzewska launched a new kind of music with a light mass character, which was extracted from the classical music. Her work titled „Maiden’s Prayer" has been travelling around the world for 160 years. Unfortunately, almost no one knows the composer’s name and her nationality. The times in which she lived did not accept women – composers. She was born in Mława in 1829 and died in 1861 year in Warsaw. Her music beside beauty and simplicity contains patriotic elements, which was an act of courage in the Poland’s political situation.
