ENGabrielė Petkevičaitė-Bitė (1861-1943) was one of the first Lithuanian women who took an active part in the national rebirth movement. The grandeur and beauty of her works are usually described by calling her an enlightener, a cultural worker, a publicist and a fiction-writer. This hardworking "bee" (a metaphor used by Vaižgantas) was less appreciated for her contribution to the sphere of social life, and especially for her life-long (she was very active for six decades) struggle for the rights of women, children and orphans, for the cherishing of family culture and for the paradigm of healthy life-style. The article describes how G. Petkevičaitė-Bitė raised social problems and what decisions she suggested for solving important questions of Lithuanian national existence. Alongside, her strong influence on others is revealed, her work for the benefit of national and individual education is highlighted. Everything, she had asserted and proved, today is of universal significance - the most valuable mode of life is such which is quiet and understandable, without making claims on others and without lamenting over the hardships brought about by the time andfate.
