Anna Ciundziewicka (née Prószyński; 18 July 1803 – 18 April 1850) was an early household and recipe advice writer of Polish ethnicity. She wrote "The Housekeeper of Lithuania" (Gospodyni litewska) in the Polish language.
Life[edit]
Ciundziewicka was born into a well-off family in Karališčavičy, 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 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.
