Halina Krahelska

Halina Krahelska (12 June 1892 – 1945) was a Polish activist, publicist and writer.

Afterwards, she returned to independent Poland, where she became a socialist activist, particularly interested in the issues of social welfare (such as maternity leave), and an activist of the Democratic Party (Poland) (SD).

During World War II, she joined the Polish resistance (Armia Krajowa).

After the war, Polish Inspection of Labor created an award named after her.
