The Problem of Feminism in the “Female” Literature on the Turn of the 19th and 20th, the 20th and 21th Centuries: Belarusian, Ukrainian, Polish Context

Summary/Abstract: In the article the feminist problems investigated from the perspective of social and cultural background of the time are discussed. It is stated that individual traits of the author in feminist writing are predetermined by the influence of feminist movement (on the turn of the 19th c.) which acknowledges the presence of self-esteem in biological nature of the man (on the turn of the 20th c.). Literary works of Polish, Ukrainian and Belarusian women-writers constitute the subject of our research. In the first part of the article the works of E. Ozheshko, G. Zapolskaya, A. Pashkevich (Tsiotka), O. Kobilianskaya, Lesia Ukrainka are examined, in the second part – those of M. Gretkovskaya, N. Babina, O. Babkova, M. Vaiteshonok, T. Garelikova, O. Zabugko, L. Kostenko, V. Shimborskaya. The authors come to the conclusion that feminist traits cannot be considered as an obligatory part of literary writing of a woman-author as they depend on psychological and physical experience. They are always expressed in an individual way because they result from talent, natural forces, peculiarities of soul, intelligence, combination of national, individual and social experience.
