Summary/Abstract: In the framework of R. Scollon and S. Scollon’ “Intercultural Communication” outlining the basic pragmatic differences between the male and female communication we analyzed the autobiography of Maria Patruncheva (1874-1964). Long before the organizing of women and the feminist discourse to come into existence a woman from the city of Gabrovo affirmed herself as professional midwife and wrote her autobiography defending “male” values and using a “male” style. But analyzing the autobiography in the context of her personal archive reveals hidden feminine dimensions of her Self and her style of writing.
