Others – the creations of Polish female emigrants

Summary/Abstract: The article Others – the creations of Polish female emigrants in Danuta Mostwin’s novels concerns the identity of Polish female immigrants in Danuta Mostwin’s novels. The article aims to present the functioning of the Others category in Mostwin’s novels, describing the experience of Polish female immigrants in the United States. The visibility of strangeness or exclusion, influencing the construction of the identity of emigrant women, has been noticed in the novels: Nie ma domu, Dom starej lady, Ameryko!Ameryko!, Odchodzą moi synowie, Ja za wodą, ty za wodą and collections of stories: Asteroidy i Ptaki. The category of the Others is related to the following phenomena: broadly defined otherness towards autochthons and oneself, and the possibility of building an identity based on a constructive combination of Polish values and those present in the culture of the country of immigration.
