"...ładnej dziewczynie łatwo się wybacza brak rozsądku" – postaci kobiece w serii o Panu Samochodziku

Abstract

The aim of the article is an analysis of female characters who appear in the series of novels about Pan Samochodzik (Mr. Automobile) by Zbigniew Nienacki as well as the interpretation of the narrator’s perception of women in the context of fashion and social trends in the 1960s and1970s in Poland. The author pays attention to gender roles that are attributed to both sexes, but especially to female roles. The analyses are focused, in turn, on the perception of a woman through senses (the descriptions of a body, clothes, hairstyles), the special role of girls, the “female” space, and, finally, the issue of gender equality.
