Anna Stanisławska

Anna Stanisławska (1651 – 2 June 1701) was a Polish author and poet known for her sole work, Transakcja albo opisanie całego życia jednej sieroty przez żałosne treny od tejże samej pisane roku 1685 (Transaction, or a Description of the Whole Life of an Orphan Girl through Doleful Laments Written by the Same in 1685).

The unpublished manuscript was discovered in a public library in St. Petersburg, Russia, nearly two centuries later, in 1890, by Slavic studies professor Aleksander Brückner, who declared Stanisławska the earliest known Polish woman poet. The work was finally printed in 1935.
