Summary/Abstract: This text explores the representations of the sick woman’s body in women’s writing through two short stories by Bulgarian authors Maria Stankova and Zornitsa Garkova. The sick body is presented through the notions of pleasure and sexuality. The paper aims to draw on the contrast between women’s corporeal and sexual experiences, their differences and interconnections.
