Abstract

The proposed article, which deals with the issue of Jesus’ attitude towards women, i.e. significant people in His life and activity, is primarily a part of a broad discussion about the dignity of a woman and her relationship to a man. However, it may be an important biblical background to the achievements of Mrs General Jadwiga Zamoyska. She was definitely ahead of her time not only as a great social activist, but also a faithful follower of the Church, far from militant feminism, ideological emancipation or suffragism. She emphasized doing real good in the spheres of public life, which were socially, culturally and religiously neglected. Today it is difficult to determine to what extent Mrs General Zamoyska was directly inspired by the Gospel. However, it can be assumed that reading the message contained therein, she meditated both on the value of the woman herself and on various forms of her social activity. In this way, she gave a testimony of faith in her own dignity and in the possibilities of female nature: sensitive, compassionate and at the same time strong and decisive. For such was Jesus in His action and teaching.
