Summary/Abstract: The article, which aims to analyze the world of women in the prose works of the contemporary Polish writer, falls within the scope of sociological studies of female artists. The author presents the artist, who is still little known to a wide audience – Liliana Hermetz, who debuted in 2014 with the book Alicyjka (the nationwide Conrad award for 2015). Hermetz shows the intimate world of women’s experiences, the courage and sensitivity of women experiencing traumas in life and everyday problems. It turns out that micro-matters, “bustle”, which was usually considered an unimportant subject, too trivial for literature, can be an interesting theme in artistic creativity. Hermetz shows women against the background of history that determines their fate, but at the same time catalyzes their strength, struggle for subjectivity and dignity.
