The studies collected here deal with social and cultural changes in Polish lands during the early phases of industrialisation, i.e. the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Attention is first given to the stabilisation of urban agglomerations and workers' communities, and the accompanying transformations in social status, family structure and collective life and culture of the workers. A particular focus is the time of the 1905-1907 revolution in the Kingdom of Poland, incorporated into tsarist Russia. In parallel with this, Professor Zarnowska has been concerned to examine the gender-determined inequalities of the life opportunities of women and men, and how these altered as social modernisation in Poland progressed. Her papers look at the changing legal and social status of women and their life chances, the emergence of new social models of women's roles, and the impact of urbanization and growing professional activity of women themselves.
