Biography
Apolonia (Pola) Gojawiczyńska, née Koźniewska (April 1, 1896 – March 29, 1963) was a Polish writer and independence activist. She was one of the most popular writers of the interwar period. Her works explored psychological and social themes related to the advancement of the proletarian and petty bourgeoisie in Warsaw and Upper Silesia. Her works "Girls from Nowolipki" and "Apple Tree of Paradise" served as the basis for feature film screenplays. The most recent film adaptation, released in 1986, was directed by Barbara Sass.
