Summary/Abstract: Designed as a case study of Austrian author MARLENE STREERUWITZ’S novel "Jessica, 30". this contribution deals with the ambiguous as well as dynamic image of women in contemporary German literature. The focus is two-fold, where on the one hand, Jessica’s transformation of identity is discussed, and on the other, her attempts at certain transgressions and the resultant conflicts are explored. In addition, the contribution also discusses STREERUWITZ’S use of language, especially as a discursive device for configuring the constitution of women’s identity within the ambivalent constellation of order or disorder of social power relations and structures.
