Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This biography tells the captivating story of Emily Plater, a heroic Polish woman who fought alongside men in the 1830-1831 November Uprising against Russian rule, disguised as a man. She was a skilled horsewoman, markswoman, and military strategist who proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Her bravery and dedication to her country inspired her fellow soldiers, and she quickly rose through the ranks, becoming the first woman to command a regiment in the Polish army. Plater's story not only sheds light on her extraordinary life and contributions to Polish history, but also highlights the broader struggle for Polish independence and the role of women in warfare during the 19th century. Her unwavering determination and courage make her an iconic figure in Polish history and a symbol of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
