W krzywym zwierciadle rosyjskiej kobiecej duszy — ujęcie postfeministyczne
The distorting mirror of Russian female soul — a post-feminist perspective

Summary/Abstract: The article presents plays of the three female playwrights, Gulgara Achmietzianowa, Julia Maksimowa and Jelena Simionowa, the works of whom are a part of new drama trend of the Russian “provincials”. The main theme of their plays is city with its dwellers, but first of all they focus on human everyday problems looked at with a neo-naturalist consciousness. Focusing my attention on the behaviour of the plays’ heroines, I analyzed their character by juxtaposing it with the reality and worldview of men. This type of confrontation shows the heroines’ untypical Russian mentality and underlines the differences between understanding of the women’s issues by the authoresses of the Russian theatrical plays and the representatives of the feminist literature.
