Introduction to the Issue: Conceptualizing Generation and Transformation in Women's Writing

Summary/Abstract: The main objective of this collection of papers is to explore ideas of generation and transformation in the context of postdependency discourse as it may be traced in women's writing published in Bengali, Polish, Chzech, Russian and English. As we believe, literature does not have merely a descriptive function or a purely visionary quality but serves also as a discursive medium, which is rethorically sophisticated, imaginatively influential and a significant indicator of group identity. Along with philosophy, literature explores the intellectual and emotional, aesthetic and ethical components of our lives, and, while focusing on a single feeling or unique event or phenomenon, aspires to capture the universal attributes of human experience.
