Kosciuszko and his women

8 March is International Women's Day.
To mark this holiday, a women's meeting was held at the museum, with flowers and a glass of sparkling wine and interesting discussions touching on important women's issues. An interesting discussion developed on the topic of ‘Kosciuszko and his women’, starting with his first love, Ludwika Sosnowska, women played an important role in the general's life. 
 
He held them in high esteem, knew how to talk to them and they always helped him, not only in Poland, but also in America and Switzerland. He treated them with respect and had a weakness for women, but always remained a gentleman. The women of Solothurn also sent him red roses or carnations in winter, which he then wore in the lapel of his frock coat. The women of the town presented Kościuszko with a bouquet of flowers embroidered on an atlas with the inscription ‘The value of the spirit and modesty form the bouquet of his life, and this bouquet is the expression of our hearts’ reverence’.
