In page Žemaitė:

"

As a child, she was forbidden by her parents to play with the children of serfs or learn the Lithuanian language.[citation needed] Like many of the Lithuanian nobility, her parents had become Polonized, and were of the belief that speaking Lithuanian was a step backward socially, so her parents used the surname Bieniuszewicz and the Polish language in everyday life, and they also brought up their children in Polish culture.[1] Nevertheless, she did learn the language and gained a deep affection for the common people. She understood the burden of serfdom and the resulting misery that came from poverty. This perspective would later form the basis for much of her creative work. Žemaitė did not receive formal education and was largely self-taught from the many books she read.
