Rui Gomes Coelho wrote about the exhibition at Ethnographic Museum:

"The show brings visibility to the histories of women that entered the museum collection in the form of everyday objects, political documents, visual representations, and family narratives. A timely and powerful political statement in Poland and Europe."
