Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to approach the literary genre of the novel for women and its necessary modification in its application on Slovak socio-historical conditions of the 19th century. We attempt to legitimize the novel Sirota Podhradských as a specific and valuable contribution to Slovak literature from the socio-historical perspective as well as the genological perspective by the analysis of the text and by emphasizing the personal profile of the author. In this way it is also very important to highlight the Vansováʼs chosen strategy in her first novel Sirota Podhradských and also to clarify what goals the author followed with her strategy.
