Helena Janina Pajzderska

Helena Janina Pajzderska née Boguska, also known as Szolc-Rogozińska (1862–1927), was a Polish writer, literary translator, traveller and a women's rights activist.

[2] She grew up in Warsaw,[3] where she received thorough private education[2] and mastered various foreign languages at Laura Guérin's school.

[2] She also translated a number of literary works by such authors as Lord Byron, H. G. Wells, Honoré de Balzac, Victor Hugo,[2] Joseph Conrad and Vicente Blasco Ibáñez.

While they settled on the island of Bioko, where they ran a cocoa plantation, the Rogozińskis also made trips to the main land[2][5] (e.g. Nigeria, Cameroon) to collect material for their writing and research on native population.

Seven years later, she coordinated the work of two committees (law and politics, literature and arts) at the first Polish Women's Conference.
