Oczami kobiet – „Mój sierpień ’80. Pamiętne lato” i „Mój sierpień »80«” – źródła do badań nad historią strajku Stoczni Gdańskiej w 1980 r

Abstract

The presented text is an edition of sources entitled "My August '80. A memorable summer" and "My August '80" which were submitted for a competition organised in 1981 by the Gdansk Branch of the Polish Sociological Association. They covered the protest which broke out on the Coast in the summer of 1980. The edition was carried out on the basis of publishing instructions of Janusz Tandecki and Krzysztof Kopinski entitled "Editing Historical Sources”. An introduction text was included, in which the most important information about the August wave of opposition was presented. The aim of the editions is to present the memoirs of Halina Pawlowska and M Wisniewska, which constitute a source for research into the history of the events of December 1970 and the August strike. The presented accounts, seen from the perspective of women coming to the Coast from the capital of Poland, show a different perspective on the events taking place in the Tri- City than that commonly presented in the literature on the subject.
