Woman of the Century — Helena Modjeska (1893)
“ Her success was instant, and she at once entered upon her remarkably brilliant American career. She has made six tours of the United States and three short tours in Poland, and has played several seasons in London and the English provinces. Her repertory on the American stage includes twenty-live roles. She has literary talent of a fine order, and among her achievements are successful adaptations of " As You Like It" and "Twelfth Night " for the Polish stage. In common with all patriotic Poles, Madame Modjeska burns with indignation over the tyranny exercised by Russia over Poland. ”
