Panny z „Wesela”. Siostry Mikołajczykówny i ich świat

Three daughters of a peasant from Bronowice grew up in a thatched cottage, among beliefs in noon spirits and crossroad devils, and found their way into Wyspiański's The Wedding. Anna married the painter and politician Włodzimierz Tetmajer, Jadwiga, the play's Bride, married Lucjan Rydel, and Maria was the great love of the painter Ludwik de Laveaux, who died young. Drawing on letters, records and unpublished family archives, the biography shows girls raised to give up their independence who, as women, kept an inner freedom and shaped their husbands' lives.
