Maria Dembińska

Maria Anna Zofia Gołuchowska was born on 21 February 1916 in the Austro-Hungarian capital Vienna. Her father was Wojciech Maria Agenor Gołuchowski, the Lviv voivode who was senator of the 4th term of the Second Polish Republic. Her mother was Countess Zofia Maria Czesława Gołuchowska (née Baworowska). Maria Gołuchowska spent her childhood in her family estate in Janów, in the Eastern Borderlands. She took history at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University, Paris in 1934 and then returned to Kresy to continue her studies at the University of Lviv. ==Marriage and family==

She married Henryk Antoni Dembiński (1911–1986), owner of the Przysucha estate. After the wedding, she moved to her husband's estate to run the property with him. ==Career==

Dembińska returned to her discontinued studies after World War I at the University of Warsaw. She obtained the title of professor in 1980 – according to some sources – and 1993 according to others. Due to the language of the publication, her scientific works appeared initially only in Eastern Europe. The exception was a 1960 article published in French. However, in 1973, she published an English summary of her research on the history of nutrition in Poland, making the results of her research available to Western historians for the first time. The publication was made more difficult by the fact that Dembińska had come to different results in her research and wanted to look at the doctrine determined by the Marxists. Later, her scientific articles and book publications were published in Polish, English, French and German. The summary of her scientific work was published in English in book form only in 1999, three years after her death. ==Death==

Maria Dembińska died on 1 November 1996 in Warsaw and was buried (along with her husband 10 years earlier) in the Powązki Cemetery. ==Bibliography==
