Abstract

Maria Moczydłowska was the youngest female member in Legislative Sejm, and one out of three women, who run for parliament from national electoral list (together with Gabriela Balicka and Zofia Sokolnicka). She succeeded in the elections mainly because of collaboration with father Wacław Bliziński, cofounder of National People’s Union. Moczydłowska worked with female members of parliament, regardless of their political origin, strongly supported women and men equality, and prohibition. She was the first woman to speak in front of Sejm. Once retired from politics Moczydłowska focused on education activism.
