Biography
I chose Aleksandra Pilsudska as my namesake. She was a woman with a complex personality, a revolutionary and a courageous rebel.She was active in the underground in the Prussian occupation, storing weapons and transporting literature.She was called a woman with dynamite under her corset, but I imagined her as a smuggler of books and ideas particularly related to women's freedom.
