Editor's Take:
Danuta Wałęsa held a family of eight children together while her husband led the Solidarity movement. She often faced secret police officers at her door and was known to answer them back. Her trip to Oslo in 1983 put her on the world stage, as the regime might not have let Lech return. For years she was seen mainly as a supportive wife. Her memoir changed that, showing a strong and independent woman with her own views. It became one of Poland's biggest bestsellers.
