Mirosława Danuta Wałęsa , born Gołoś the In Krypy (commune of Liw) in Mazovie, went to seek the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983 in Oslo, as the wife of Lech Wałęsa, and she delivered the thank you speech in her place.

First Lady of Poland from 1990 to 1995, she nevertheless renounces living in the apartments of the Belvedere presidential palace, without renouncing protocol activities throughout her husband’s mandate.

In 2011, she published an autobiography that met with great success in Poland. Thus, it implicitly poses the debate on the condition of women within the couple in the country, without saying herself a feminist.

She was born in 1949, within a very modest Polish farmers’ family. She can only undergo studies up to 14 years old. At 18, she left for Gdansk, and works there as a florist [ first ] . In 1968, she met an electrician from shipyards, Lech Wałęsa, which she married the following year.

Le couple a huit enfants: Bogdan (1970), Sławomir (1972), Przemysław (1974), Jarosław (1976), Devenu Député Européen, Magdalena (1979), Anna (1980), Maria Wiktoria (1982) et Brygida (1985) .

In 2011, she published by Wydawnictwo Literackie editions an autobiography entitled Dreams and secrets ( Dreams and secrets , Buchet/Chastel, 2014)).

He caused a debate in Poland on the condition of women within the couple. The one who has often been considered a kind of mother courage, working for her family and leaving her husband the political fighting and a certain glory, depicts a little affectionate, absent, has little considerations for his wife and not appreciating Not that it is shadowed. However, she oscillates between criticism and respect, for this man she loved. The book has taken great success in Poland [ 4 ] , [ 3 ] , [ 5 ] . Meetings organized between Danuta Walesa and its readers/readers, in Krakow, in Gdansk, in Warsaw, attract the public, with exchanges and reflections on the life of a couple [ 3 ] . Danuta Walesa does not claim to be a feminist, a term that this practicing Catholic rejects, but recognizes itself as a spokesperson for women: “If this book can be used to show them what we can change, it’s all the better” [ first ] .

Danuta and Lech Walesa live together, each on their floor in the big house he built in Gdansk [ 3 ] .
