Summary/Abstract: The article has two goals: firstly, to draw atten-tion to semantic and expression trends of the Swedish and the Lithuanian female novels of the recent decades; secondly, to discuss the implicit differences of female self-awareness in the literary context of the selected nations. The Lithuanian reader is not well aware of the peculiarities of the modern Swedish novel, therefore the attention will be focused on this particular subjekt and its great offshoot - the female literature. In this space of exploration the literary experience of the Lithuanian women will be the base for comparing, which allows to purify the most pronounced divides in the national mentality and literary poetics. To concretise the subject - matter of the paper and the problems arising from it I would say: what is the value today for a modern Swedish and Lithuanian women? What are the premises of those values? Are the peculiarities of female artistic self-expression and their differences presupposed by the differentially conceived value?
