The paper is an afterword, analyzing the text of the memoir by Anna Szyszko-Grzywacz about her experience in the GULag camps (1945-1956) as compared to some classical works such as Inny świat by Gustaw Herling Grudziński or Po wyzwoleniu by Wiktoria Kraśniewska. The text offers an insight based on a gender studies approach, stressing the fact that women in Soviet forced labor camps had to face not only brutal labor conditions and starvation as their male counterparts but also sexual harassment, abuse, or physical rape.

The text offers an insight based on a gender studies approach, stressing the fact that women in Soviet forced labor camps had to face not only brutal labor conditions and starvation as their male counterparts but also sexual harassment, abuse, or physical rape.
