Bronisława Wajs, "Papusza"

from The Breakfast Podcast · host Patricia López Muñoz

Today I'm opening a book that isn't on any bookshelf: the one that is written with each page that transforms us. We travel the world in search of new stories, because reading is crossing borders without a passport. And every story is a cultural compass.Today I want to tell you about a woman who not only wrote verses, but paid the highest price for them. In the heart of the Polish forests, at the beginning of the 20th century, Bronisława Wajs was born, known to her people as Papusza, which means 'Doll'.
