The analysis examines the reasons for Elin's erasure from the history of Polish literature, which, apart from the disastrous impact of World War II on Polish material culture, might have been caused by the criticism of her contemporaries, scholars’ biased views of her work, and, perhaps most importantly, her own diffidence. The article reads Mila Elin as an independent poet, separate from her most influential supporter, Tadeusz Peiper, by investigating the theme of marginal female subjectivities (an alcoholic, a nun, and a peasant), problematizing womanhood and desire, and drawing an unexpected connection to surrealist tradition.
