je bila poljska pisateljica s pravim imenom Maria Gabriela Korwin-Piotrowska. Pisala je romane in drame. V Parizu je začela svojo neuspešno kariero kot igralka. Začela je pisati cenene,  razburljive romane polne strogosti proti vrednotam srednjega razreda, njihovi moralnosti in hinavščini. Od vseh teh romanov napisanih v obdobju 20 let sta omembe vredna samodva: Zaszumi las (1899) in Sezonowa milosc (1905). Od njenih dram je omembe vredna Moralnosc pani Dulskiej (1906), komedija o matriarhatu v meščanski družini.

Is pseudonym of  Maria Gabriela Korwin-Piotrowska  Polish novelist and playwright of the Naturalist school. Having tried unsuccessfully to pursue an acting career in Paris, Zapolska started writing cheap, sensationalist novels full of bitterness toward middle-class values, morality, and hypocrisy. Of her several novels written over a period of 20 years, only two have survived in terms of modern readability. Zaszumi las (1899, The Forest Will Murmur) is a roman about Polish revolutionaries in Paris. Sezonowa milosc (1905, Love in the Season) is a novel about fashionable middle-class life in the resort town of Zakopane. She also wrote plays, mostly melodramas, that had the same ephemeral quality as most of her novels, but one is remembered: Moralnosc pani Dulskiej (1906, Mrs. Dulska's Morality), a comedy-farce about a dominating matriarch of a bourgeois family.
