The article is dedicated to the poems of Wojciech Mier, a forgotten Enlightenment poet who was known for his cutting remarks towards various characters and personalities of Warsaw public and social life in the second half of the 18th century. The author pays particular attention to the works whose themes are inspired by observation of the salon and which are addressed mainly to women. The considerations aim at throwing light on, how much the poet was teasing frequent visitors of the salon by his ready pen. The article presents as well the collection of flaws that were usually used as the subject of criticism by Rococo writer in his poems. Moreover, the author pays attention to the works which on the one hand are characterized by their ambiguous meaning and intention which cannot be defined precisely but on the other hand show that their author perfectly mastered the art of being malice.

The article presents an attempt to characterize the increase in women's literary activity observed by researchers to have taken place during the reign of the two kings of the Wettin Dynasty. The period preceding the First Partition of Poland, for a long time seen as the time of culture in decline, are decades in which for the first time in our history women took up writing on such a scale. The phenomenon concerned most of all the nobility and the gentry and was connected with, among other things, the changes in education started in the second half of the 17th century. The discussion also covers the interrelations between the women who took to the pen over that period, indicating the reading matter which inspired them and the circumstances which facilitated their literary activity.
