Summary/Abstract: The collection of Šehabović’s stories Priče – ženski rod, množina is an important voice in the discussion on the situation of women in post-war Bosnia. An artistically interesting idea of a juxtaposition of female voices, accompanied by representatives of other discriminated groups in society (gays), allowed the Bosnian author to face current and socially important problems. It is a faithful literature with a deeply anti-war language. Narrative solutions, the type of heroes and the way of their presentation brings Šejla Šehabović’s prose closer to women’s writing (žensko pismo), and far away from the heroic paradigm dominating in Bosnia-Herzegovinan’s war discourse.
