Career highlights

Dabrowska nee Szumska was born in Russow near Kalisz in central Poland under Tsarist military control. Her parents belonged to the impoverished landed gentry. Maria suffered from Esotropia giving her a "cross-eyed" appearance. She studied sociology, philosophy, and natural sciences in Lausanne and Brussels, and settled in Warsaw in 1917. Interested in both literature and politics, she devoted herself to help those born into poverty. In the interwar period, Dabrowska worked temporarily in the Polish Ministry of Agriculture while venturing more and more into newspaper reporting and public life. In 1927 she became more involved in writing about human rights. In her novels, plays and newspaper articles she analyzed the psychological consequences of hardship and life's traumas in the world of everyday citizens.

Maria nee Szumska married Marian Dabrowski who died suddenly when she was 36. Her second long-term partner was a 19-years-older Stanislaw Stempowski with whom she lived in a common-law marriage until the outbreak of World War II. During the occupation of Poland she stayed in Warsaw and supported the cultural life of the Polish underground. At about that time, she also met Anna and Jerzy Kowalski, two married writers. They had a child in 1946, but Jerzy died suddenly in 1948. The two women stayed in a relationship for the next 20 years, although Maria tried to get Anna married again. Dabrowska was awarded the Order of Polonia Restituta during the Stalinist period. She died in 1965 at the age of 75 in Warsaw.
