Feminism in Poland:

For a long time, the country climate in Poland has been shaped around the patriarchy determined by the catholic church. As history shows, this can be very detrimental to the social aspects within the residents of Poland. How has this affected feminism in Poland? It created an idea that women were supposed to live by the standards of the church. ~https://edspace.american.edu/theworldmind/2017/02/27/religious-ideology-v-feminism-how-polands-growing-feminist-movement-is-challenging-the-catholic-church/~

Standards of the Church: What exactly does it mean when we say Polish women had to live by the standard of the church? This simply means, women in Poland had to live by traditional stereotypes. Women as mothers, nurturers, maids and cooks. Women were expected to be submissive, and the men were the breadwinners of the home. Although these traditions stemmed from the patriarchy, many of the stereotypes are alive and well when looking at feminism in Poland. ~https://edspace.american.edu/theworldmind/2017/02/27/religious-ideology-v-feminism-how-polands-growing-feminist-movement-is-challenging-the-catholic-church/~

Modern Polish Feminism: When looking at feminism in Poland today, many women are afraid to take action, because it would be like going against “the church.” ~http://www.bu.edu/today/2008/why-poland-is-afraid-of-feminism/~ However, there are several Polish Feminist who are not afraid of the consequences that comes with the feminist activism. Today, you can find Polish feminist fighting against unjust laws such as the maternity leaves; which suggests that mothers should be home caring for the newborn while the father is out making the money. These feminist, such as Agnieszka Graff, are putting their lives on the live everyday to show Poland that women are no longer staying silent.
