The main aim of this article is to isolate and describe authorial strategies in Samotnica. Dwa życia Marii Dulębianki by Karolina Dzimira-Zarzycka. The biography of the painter and social activist, which is part of the increasingly clear current of recovering women’s history, is also an interesting example of the formation of an effective authorial strategy. Referring to the theoretical approaches to biography by James L. Clifford, Hermione Lee, Michael Benton, Michalina Krytowska, Lucyna Marzec, as well as to the critical-feminist reflections of Inga Iwasiów, Agnieszka Gajewska and the historiographical remarks of Joan Wallach Scott, the text analyses the ways in which the figure of the biographer manifests itself. The author, skilfully combining information taken from various sources (documents, registers, correspondence, diaries, biographies, critical discussions of Dulębianka’s artistic work and memories of her political activity) and her own findings, not only constructs a convincing story about the life of the selected heroine. In a way, she makes her independent, not describing her, for example, only in the context of her relationship with Maria Konopnicka or as one of the Polish painters in Paris at the turn of the 20th century. It is also important to point out how Dulębianka’s biography becomes a specific intellectual autobiography of Dzimira-Zarzycka, who is not only the narrator but also an equal protagonist of the story she is recreating.
