ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to challenge Dziamski's notion regarding the absence of a feminist discourse in Poland. The single fact that feminist art texts were not unknown to Partum may alone undermine Dziamski's claim that Polish art critics had no theoretical tools with which to "cover her nudity." Feminist ideas did circulate in Europe and were also known to some in communist Poland. Both the Polish critic and "the elderly lady walking down the street" could have familiarized themselves with them at least partially. In the vast majority of texts devoted to Natalia LL, her relationship to feminist art-making is referred to superficially, and the reference is usually limited to a list of exhibitions in which she has participated since 1975. Sometimes a letter sent to Natalia LL by Lucy Lippard is mentioned and it functions as a kind of cornerstone of feminist art tendencies in Poland.
