halpir's 388-page autobiography was discovered by a polish historian glatman in the library of prince czartoryski. the memoir was published as "proceder podróży i życia mego awantur" (my life's travels and adventures) in poland in 1957. a number of the events in the memoir seem far-fetched and implausible. for example, she described how her leg became limp and visibly shorter due to a magic omen. therefore, biographical accuracy of her memoir is disputed and some researchers prefer to treat it more as a work of fiction than factual autobiography.
