In the second half of the 1920s. Gina Szwarc, under the pseudonym Eugenia Markowa, started to cooperate with magazines in Poland; initially with Głos Polski [Polish Voice], a Łódź daily published in 1918-1929, for which she followed the trial of Szalom Szwarcbard in Paris. From 17 October 1927, the daily published reports from the trial annotated as: Głos Polski's telegram, signed with initials: S.D.; we cannot unequivocally confirm that these are Gina's texts. Later, her texts were published, among others, in the Warsaw weekly magazines for women: Ewa and Kobieta Współczesna [Modern Woman], the Kraków Nowy Dziennik [New Journal] and the Poznań Kultura [Culture] (in the 1930s). Eugenia Markowa wrote about Parisian bohemians: "Rotonda at Montparnassie" (Ewa 1928, no. 8, p. 4); she interviewed painters living in Paris: "An hour at Olga Boznańska's" (Ewa 1928, No. 19, p. 2), "An Hour at Mela Muter's" (Ewa 1928, no 16, p. 2); and she described her "visit at the excellent sculptress" Chana Orlov in an article in the Nowy Dziennik (1929, No. 41, p. 8). In Ewa, for which she was a Paris correspondent, she also published articles on the French woman ("Ewa" 1928, No. 3, p. 3), and on the life of underground Paris (Ewa 1928, No. 6, p. 4).
