International Conference “The War That Never Ended. Postwar Continuity and New Challenges in the Aftermath of the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1918–1923”, organized on 24–26 October 2019 in Krakow and Przemyśl, it was an excellent opportunity to discuss the phenomenon of key years 1918–1923 in the history of countries that arose from the ruins of the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire. The truce in Compiegne (11.11.1918), as has been proven many times in historiography, had only symbolic significance for Central and Eastern and Southeastern Europe and did not bring decisive decisions for the region. This area became a place of numerous conflicts over borders, ethnic and social friction, resettlement of people, the involvement of intellectuals in politics or even violence aimed at physical elimination of entire groups and communities. It turns out that the new nation-states in this formation period strongly benefited from the imperial heritage of their predecessors, despite the declaration of paving new roads. The conference gathered almost 40 speakers from many European countries as well as from Canada and the United States of America.

On November, 28, 1918, Chief of State Jozef Pilsudski signed a decree prepared by the government of Jedrzej Moraczewski granting active and passive voting rights to women. In the same time throughout the whole interwar period civil law remained contrary to the principle of gender equality enshrined in the Constitution of March 1921. It resulted from the provisions of legal codes of pre-war empires and was under requisition until 1939. Moreover, it is worth remembering that in the world of distribution and power relations connections and distinguish "assigned" roles of male and female were more important than the equality in the parliamentary elections. The author of the article tries to present that there was a huge gap between the law and political pracitise during the whole period. He examines pre-election calls for voting articles, the reports from the political meetings as well as the articles written by men and women on suffrage. Different political parties were one in common – women were treated by their representatives as a beautification of the politics, not as equal partners . It appears, that not only men believed that they were better prepared for public world offices – majority of women, even from upper classes, shared this vision. The example of the south-eastern provinces of the Second Polish Republic shows huge conservatism of the ellite’s mentality.

The author describes the consequences of the legionary past of one of the most outstanding and remarkable (besides Rev. Józef Panaś) chaplains of Polish military units of 1914-1921. Father Patrycy Władysław Antosz is a well-known figure in the literature on the subject, although not always duly appreciated, due to some confusion about his names (Władysław was his Christian name and Patrycy - his monastic name) and poor awareness of his legacy which is kept in the archive of the Franciscan Order in Kraków. Additionally, the years spent in the company of soldiers, both at the front and in the barracks, made Father Antosz acquire certain qualities which were frowned upon by his religious superiors. Adored by his comrades, he never felt fulfilled in monastic work again
