Stefania Wilczyńska was born in Warsaw in 1886. Her life was full of challenges and sacrifices. She collaborated with Janusz Korczak, creating the Orphanage, a place where children found love, care and understanding. Her work often went unnoticed, and she herself disappeared into Korczak's shadow. Thanks to Magdalena Kicińska's book, Stefania Wilczyńska returns to her rightful place in history.

Magdalena Kicińska's book is not only a biography, but also an attempt to recreate a world that has disappeared. The author meticulously reconstructs Stefania's fate, seeking answers to questions about her origins, family and work. It is the story of a woman who sacrificed her life for others, and her contribution to the development of pedagogy and childcare is invaluable.

“It is hard to believe that for so many years the role of Stefania Wilczyńska was reduced to the function of Janusz Korczak's assistant. How unfair to a woman without whom the Warsaw Orphanage in Krochmalna could certainly not have existed. And how good that Magdalena Kicińska brings Mrs. Stefa out of the shadows, restores her dignity and an equal place next to Mr. Doctor” - Magdalena Grzebałkowska. This is evidence of how important this publication is to do justice to a forgotten heroine.
