The issue of ZofiaRomanowiczówna’s legacy, very important and little-known, enters the area of research both in the field of biographical, historiography and women studies. Zofia Romanowiczówna’s activity in many associations, in this case Teachers Association in Lviv and Society of Women Frugality, are not sufficiently researched. The activity she undertook can be found on the references located in Historical State Archives in Lviv and Stefanyk National Science Library. The analysis of the references of Romanowiczówna’s legacy enabled me to show the women associations in Lviv and involvement of this Lviv woman, which was deter mined by her huge patriotism and willingness to help, but also by desire to examine her involvement in the women associations in Lviv.

Anthropomorphization is the tendency to ascribe humanlike features and mental states, such as free will and consciousness, to nonhuman beings or inanimate agents. Two studies investigated the consequences of the anthropomorphization of nature on people’s willingness to help victims of natural disasters. Study 1 (N = 96) showed that the humanization of nature correlated negatively with willingness to help natural disaster victims. Study 2 (N = 52) tested for causality, showing that the anthropomorphization of nature reduced participants’ intentions to help the victims. Overall, our findings suggest that humanizing nature undermines the tendency to support victims of natural disasters.
