Why Is Izabela Filipiak Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Izabela Filipiak is a Polish writer, an essayist, a columnist, and a scholar. Biography She debuted in the beginning of the 90s as one of the most distinct figures of Polish literary life. In her short stories and essays, she promoted the new literature in democratic Poland as open to voices previously excluded from cultural discourse. Her novel Absolutna Amnezja published in 1995, critiques the communist past from the point of view of socially maladjusted young women. The book mixes satirical representation of authoritarian schools and dysfunctional families with historical events from the pre-Solidarity period and discusses education as breaking the girls' spirits through an elaborate application of double standards. When the critics attacked the novel, Maria Janion, the renowned literary historian, came to its rescue, thus launching the major debate about the absence of feminism in the Polish cultural tradition.
