How, and particularly why, did the ‘leftist’-leaning faction of the democratic opposition in Poland arise? Agnes Arndt looks at the social and gender-specific perspectives that were present in the beginnings of the Polish leftist dissidents. She poses, and answers, questions concerning the bourgeois and often Jewish background of the main actors. She also looks at their relationship to the Communist authorities, the Polish nation and the primarily Catholic Polish society.
