Gospodyni litewska (1856 edition)

Ciundziewicka was born into a well-off family in Karališčavičy [be], in 1803. She was the daughter of Michał Prószyński of the Ogończyk coat of arms, subcamerarius of Minsk, and Tekla née Wolański. Her sister Michalina married Hipolit Siemiradzki; their son was the painter Henryk Siemiradzki.

She was educated at a boarding school in Vilnius. In 1826, she married into the Ciundziewicki family. Her new family ran a large farm in the village of Kiščyna Słabada [be] and she gathered information about it.

In 1848 she published "The Housekeeper of Lithuania" (Gospodyni litewska) in Vilnius.[1][2]

She died in 1850, and was buried at her family's chapel.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
