Gabriela Puzynina

Gabriela Puzynina (1815 – 1869) was a Polish poet, playwright and diarist.

She was born on September 24 1815, the third daughter of Adam Günther and Aleksandra Tyzenhaus. She married Tadeusz Puzyna in 1851.[1]

Gabriela began writing poetry in childhood and published her first volume in 1843.[1] Six of her plays were successfully staged,[1] including Philosophe’s Daughter.[2] Her house and library in Vilnius were a hub for the authors of the day.[3] Her memoir and letters relate the social life of Polish high society and the reactions within her circle to uprisings against Russia.[4]
