  Masłowska was born July 3, 1983 in Wejherowo, and grew up there. She applied for the University of Gdańsk's faculty of psychology and was accepted, but left the studies for Warsaw, where she joined the culture studies at the Warsaw University. She first appeared in the mass-media when her debut book Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą biało-czerwoną (translated to English as either White and Red in the UK or Snow White and Russian Red in the US) was published. Largely controversial, mostly because of the language seen by many as vulgar, cynical and simple, the book was praised by many intellectuals as innovative and fresh.

  Izabela Filipiak

  Polish writer, an essayist, a columnist, and a scholar.
  
  She debuted in the beginning of the 90s as one of the most distinct figures of Polish literary life. In her short stories and essays, she promoted the new literature in democratic Poland as open to voices previously excluded from cultural discourse. Her novel Absolutna Amnezja published in 1995 critiques the communist past from the point of view socially maladjusted young women. The book mixes satirical representation of authoritarian schools and dysfunctional families with the historical events from the pre-Solidarity period, and discusses education as breaking the spirits of girls through an elaborate application of double standards. When the critics attacked the novel, Maria Janion,

  Zyta Rudzka

  Polska dramatopisarka, pisarka, poetka, publicystka, autorka scenariuszy filmów dokumentalnych, psychoterapeutka wyspecjalizowana w poradnictwie z zakresu seksuologii. Zaczynała jako poetka. W r. 1989 ogłosiła tomik wierszy Ruchoma rzeczywistość, z czasem objawiła się jako prozatorka, wydając – bardzo dobrze przyjętą przez krytykę – powieść Białe klisze (1993). Już wówczas doszedł do głosu charakterystyczny dla Rudzkiej styl narracji powieściowej – silnie zmetaforyzowany, zorganizowany wokół archetypów i symboli, zrodzony zapewne z inspiracji psychoanalitycznych. Pisarka chętnie umieszcza swej opowieści w umownych realiach, lubi wszelkiego typu uniwersalizacje, zwłaszcza te, które mówią o spotkaniu kobiety i mężczyzny, do jakiego dochodzi j
