Issue 2(22)/2016 - Morality, Law and Ethos. Maria Ossowska (1896-1974) - In Memoriam

Abstract:

Maria Ossowska was a feminist and democrat. In her opinion, democracy meant equality of rights. Prejudice towards women not only prevented the development of democratic society, but was also a fundamental intellectual error. Her scholarly contribution in the field of democracy was complemented by engagement in public issues. How is this idea of equality – especially “being privileged or underprivileged” on the grounds of gender – implemented in contemporary, democratic Poland?
