Jan Orzelski was actively involved in the political life of the Republic of the Nobles as a member of a regional assembly, a deputy and next a senator. He recorded the history of his family in the work entitled Annales domus Orzelsciae. It was edited by Adam Tytus Działyński on the basis of a manuscript stored in the Kórnik Library together with a family diary Kopia pobożnej pamięci imci Elżbiety Orzelskiej. Annales… consists of two parts: a comprehensive introduction and a chronicle containing annual entries regarding the most important events in Jan Orzelski’s family in the years 1589–1611 (that period being extended to 1618 by adding the diary Kopia pobożnej pamięci…). Much focus in the first part of the Annales... was placed on Stefan Batory’s military campaigns to conquer Polotsk (1579), Velikiye Luki (1580) and Pskov (1581), in which Jan Orzelski took part as a cavalry captain. The author’s intention, however, was not to describe those military campaigns in detail but to present “only some memorable issues”. The Annales... depicts, first of all, the origins of the “family from Orle”, the history and the characteristics of the family members in the male line. The author included his biography as well.

Świętosław Orzelski (1549–1598), Starost of Radziejów, actively participated in the political life of the noblemen’s Republic of Poland as a parliamentary activist and Member of Parliament. As a deputy he participated in 13 sessions of Parliament, including 6 sessions during the rule of Stefan Batory and 7 ones in the reign of Sigismund III Vasa. He was a talented politician, continuing the best traditions of the execution faction. As one of the seniors of the Augsburg denomination, he belonged to the group of leaders in the fight for religious tolerance. His historical work under the title Acta interregni post obitum nimirum Sigismundi Augusti remained in the form of manuscript for many years. It was not published in the Polish translation until the 19th century by Włodzimierz Spasowicz, and in its original form by Edward Kuntze in 1917. At present, a new edition of the work by Świętosław Orzelski is being prepared. In the first place, an introductory volume will be published, containing Orzelski’s biography, his speeches and letters dedicated to public matters.

Mówimy dzisiaj, że język polski faworyzuje mężczyzn. Asymetria rodzajowo-płciowa i gramatyczne uprzywilejowanie form męskich mają jednak swoje uzasadnienie historyczne. Podobnie jak inne języki indoeuropejskie, polszczyzna rozwijała się w społeczeństwie patriarchalnym, w którym mężczyźni pełnili ważne społecznie funkcje i zasiadali na wysokich stanowiskach. Polki uzyskały prawa wyborcze w roku 1918. Dlatego polszczyzna sprzed początków XX w. po prostu nie potrzebowała żeńskiego odpowiednika formy poseł (nie było desygnatu tego leksemu w rzeczywistości pozajęzykowej). W artykule analizuję wyrazy, którymi na początku XX w. nazywano kobiety wybrane do polskiego sejmu.

It is said today that the Polish language favours men. However, the gender-specific asymmetry and the grammatical privileging of masculine forms have their historical justification. Like other Indo-European languages, Polish developed in a patriarchal society in which men played important social functions and occupied high positions. Polish women got electoral rights in 1918. That is why the Polish language from before the beginning of the 20th century simply did not need a female equivalent of the term “poseł” [MP] (there was no designator for this lexeme in the non-linguistic reality). In the article, I analyse words that, at the beginning of the 20th century, were used to call women elected for the Polish parliament.
