The aim of this article is to show the place of Polish women in the public space of our country during the communist era. from the very beginning of the Polish People’s republic the press had been recognized as one of the main instruments to build a “new socialist man”. Polish communist propaganda also included women’s press, which means magazines for women, for example, the ones indicted in the subtitle. It, too, influenced content, the method of recognition of topics, the structure and form of the language. the first magazine for women which was published after World War II was a monthly entitled Moda i Życie Praktyczne (Fashion andPractical Life). a decade later it was transformed into the weekly issued under the name Kobieta i Życie (Woman and Life). The magazine was published from January 1946 to February 2002. In 2008 it reappeared as a monthly and is present on the market today. Then Filipinka, the first magazine for teenage girls, appeared on 15 May 1957. the biweekly magazine was created as a younger sister of Kobieta i Życie and was published by RSW Prasa-Książka-Ruch – the main, if not the only publishing company at that time. Analyzing the content of articles in these two magazines within the following thirty years it is easy to state that the magazines were under the constant control of communist authorities and were the subject of their propaganda. the perfect confirmation of the situation is a model of the woman promoted by authorities which perceived her mainly in terms of economic activity. At the beginning of the 1950s, the Polish media were dominated by the Soviet standards. Consequently , a simple, resourceful woman-worker participating in the socialist labour race became an exemplar to follow. Then, in the late 1950s the situation changed as a result of high unemployment among women. The press no longer promoted the previous model. they began to present profiles of the women who fulfilled their household chores and felt satisfied as mothers and wives.
