This paper offers a look at some of the earliest women who translated in Poland in the late 16th and 17th centuries– Anna of Austria, Zofia Bohowitynowa, Zofia Anna Bernitz-Bernardi, Anna Teresa Piotrkowczykowa, Konstancja Kerschenstein. Who were they? What did they translate? And why? A shortage of precise data makes them appear semi-legendary, but they are nevertheless interesting to consider as the mythical founding mothers of Polish woman-made translation.
