Narcyza Zmichowska pronounced [nar't?s?za ?m?i'x?fska] (Warsaw, 4 March 1819 – 24 December 1876, Warsaw), also known under her popular nom de plume Gabryella, was a Polish novelist and poet.
She is considered a precursor of feminism in Poland. Zmichowska's first novel published in 1846 was Poganka (The Heathen), in which she is known to have expressed interest in her friend Paulina Zbyszewska.
The book was published by Northern Illinois University Press in 2012 in English translation by Dr Ursula Phillips.
Letters to friends and family written by Zmichowska were published in five volumes by Wroclaw University in 1960.
There, she also expressed interest in a married man, Edward Dembowski, which led to a known scandal.
Her correspondence with Bibianna Moraczewska (an unmarried woman by choice like Narcyza) spanning 32 years consisted mostly of intellectual discourses.
