Abstract
Abstract Research on the Ukrainian minority in Poland was conducted from a feminocentric perspective to break the masculinised perception of this minority. Multiple data in the research have demonstrated that over a span of three generations Ukrainian families have turned from patriarchal into matriarchal ones. Currently it is women who preserve and invent tradition, both in the private and the public sphere. This is an effect of the cultural change and of the disappearance of jobs previously done by men. The contemporary tradition of the minority as a whole rests on tasks and values previously ascribed to women.
