Abstract

The aim of this article is to try to answer the question: what image of a Romani woman is presented in Polish scientific publications and pop culture in general, and in fashion in particular (what dress trends do the Polish Romani women of today prefer). The paper uses the analysis of visual internet content with elements of auto-ethnography and a review of Polish scientific literature. The article breaks stereotypes connected with the image of a Romani woman.

This text is an important part of my doctoral dissertation "Gypsy lifestyle and Romani identity. The role of stereotype and autostereotype in the perception of people aspiring to be members of a particular group .
