Summary/Abstract: Polirom collection entitled “Ego.Proza”, has published since 2004 young author's texts, representing a necessary form of valorizing the literature belonging to an eclectic generation. An important part of this collection is represented by women-authors who adopted in writing an attitude perceived as revolutionary, reforming, which would soon turn into a specific discourse. Their autofictional pattern became a special category of “feminine literature”, identified with a literature of intimacy, a narcissistic, du petit moi one. Womenauthors published in “Ego.Proza” collection, such as Ioana Baetica, Cecilia Ştefănescu, Claudia Golea or Ana Maria Sandu tend to render an especially women’s intimacy, which is beyond the generation labelling, the experimentalism of the autofictional formula, or the fracturing credo of the multiplied identities. From this point of view, the analysis of the thematic and discursive field of the women-authors novels shows the way in which feminine identity constructs itself as a special individuality.
