Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the aspects that connect the Budapest-born Zsuzsa Thury (1901‒1989) to the field of Transylvanian Hungarian literature, looking at how her work can be included into the history and corpus of this regional literature, offering details also about her status as a woman writer in the 1930s. The analysis identifies five main connecting points: the literary heritage of her father, Zoltán Thury, the role of the Transylvanian female journalist, the inclusion into the generational dynamics of Transylvanian literature, the connections to the central institutions of the Helikon writers, and finally the aspects of a textualized private life.
