Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to reassess, with the intention to deepen and innovate, the current views on Ksenija Atanasijević’s essays about Serbian literature. I will discuss her theoretical-methodological points of departure, conceptual solutions, interpretative conclusions and stylistic features of the selected body of works. Special research attention is directed towards analyses of the tradition of reflexive poetry from philosophical positions and her affirmation of women’s creative practice. Atanasijević’s essays on women writers are particularly important, because her engagement in the promotion of women’s literature coincided with the formation and promotion of feminist critical discourse in the Kingdom of SHS/Yugoslavia, and I will emphasize her positions and contributions in that process.
