Henryka Krystyna Krzywonos-Strycharska was the former head of the
Gdańsk transport workers.
She is noted for playing a role in strikes and
protests in 1980 Gdańsk. The authorities later beat her causing her to miscarry, as she had been pregnant at the time. Afterward she became involved in "family orphanages" and adopted 12 orphans with her third husband.
