Dorota Olko

Dorota Zofia Olko [ˈdɔrɔta ˈɔlkɔ] ⓘ (born 13 January 1988) is a Polish politician, sociologist, and political activist.

[1] Also in 2011 Olko started her doctoral dissertation in Sociology on the perception of body and self-care in the Polish working class.

[4] She worked professionally in Gazeta Wyborcza, Krytyka Polityczna, and taught classes at her alma mater.

[6] She did not succeed in any national or local election before 2023, when she effectively replaced Magdalena Biejat on the Warsaw ballot, due to the latter moving over to Senat.

[7] Notably, Olko outrivaled Anna Maria Żukowska and Agata Diduszko-Zyglewska [pl] vote-wise despite poorer media coverage and less advantageous ballot position.
