This article seeks to enhance the biographical portrait of Anna Wyczółkowska (1853-1929), a pioneer of experimental psychological research, a social activist and publicist, and an outstanding figure in the intellectual life of Polish emigrants in the United States. Wyczółkowska was one of the first women to obtain a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Zurich (1893). She then developed her career in the United States, collaborating with, among others, John Watson, the founder of behaviorism. Her biography reflects the experiences of the generation of women from Central and Eastern Europe at the turn of the 20th c. However, Wyczółkowska did not gain wider recognition and was completely forgotten after her death. This text considers the trajectory of her scientific career and the development of her worldview through interactions with the scientific authorities of her era, as well as with writers, artists, and social activists both in Poland and abroad. The article highlights an important yet lesser-known aspect of her activity - her editorial contributions. Source analysis has revealed that Wyczółkowska’s journalistic style significantly enriches certain biographical threads, outlines the social dimension of her scientific achievements, and illuminates the cultural context of her life experiences.
