Life and career

Musierowicz was born in Poznań, Poland. She went to VII Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Dąbrówki in Poznań. She graduated from the Art University in Poznań with an MFA degree in graphic design. She frequently contributes articles to a Polish opinion magazine, Tygodnik Powszechny. Her first book, "Małomówny i rodzina", was published in the mid-70s. She soon started to publish series of humorous novels; the volumes are referred to as Jeżycjada. The name Jeżycjada derives from the name of a district in Poznań, Jeżyce where all her characters live. Musierowicz also wrote books for younger children.
