> the country failed her, by not giving the possibility of attending university

The country didn't exist at the time, being partitioned between Prussia, Russia and Austria-Hungary. Poles didn't have much to say about the university admission policies of the Russian Empire, where she lived. She did, however, attend the so called Flying University [1], which was a higher education institution organized by Polish underground resistance.

You're obviously right, forgot that I have to check if my country existed in a given time.
