Jadwiga Harasowska, née Zbrożek, of the Jasieńczyk coat of arms[1] (born 3 April 1904 in Kraków,[2] died 11 February 1978 in Newark-on-Trent), was a Polish publisher, journalist, and émigré activist.

Starting in early 1940, she engaged in publishing activities in Glasgow to support the Polish military stationed in the United Kingdom.

She also organized cultural initiatives and fostered social ties between the Polish military and Scottish society, leaving a lasting legacy.

[5] Beginning in 1927, she served as the secretary and assistant to Marian Dąbrowski, owner of the Ilustrowany Kuryer Codzienny publishing conglomerate in Kraków.

[9] Additionally, she edited the illustrated weekly magazine As [pl], published by Ilustrowany Kuryer Codzienny since 1935, which was targeted at "elegant clientele".

[15] At the end of September 1939, along with a group of journalists from Ilustrowany Kurier Codzienny, she evacuated to Lviv and later to Romania, where she reunited with her husband.

She arrived at the port of Folkestone on 24 November 1939 and, four days later, registered with her husband at the Nottinghamshire County Police Station in Newark-on-Trent, where Adam had previously completed an engineering internship.

[24] The song became a prayer of the Polish Armed Forces in the West as well as the Home Army in occupied Poland, where it reached through parachute drops.

[30] On 21 September 1942, President Władysław Raczkiewicz visited the Książnica Polska headquarters and the editorial office of Dziennik Żołnierza [pl], which was being published by Jadwiga Harasowska at that time.

[35] From January 1941 to April 1942, Jadwiga Harasowska published the bilingual weekly Ogniwo Przyjaźni – The Clasp of Friendship,[19][20][37] and later, until 10 October 1947, the biweekly Voice of Poland.

[43] For the soldiers of the 2nd Polish Corps (under General Władysław Anders) stationed in Mandatory Palestine, Jadwiga Harasowska oversaw the large-scale printing of The Trilogy.

[55] Following their departure from Scotland, Jadwiga Harasowska initially lived near Lincoln and, from 1966 until her death, resided in Balderton, a district of Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire.

[57][58] A historian of wartime and post-war Polish-Scottish-English relations noted that "Jadwiga Zbrożkówna and Adam Harasowski certainly deserve a separate monograph".
