Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is the analysis of selected texts of Swahili prose written by women writers from Tanzania. The author attempts to answer the question: how do women as authors cope with gender identity issues? How do they present the subject of their works – various feminine characters? Do they follow socially dominant gender discourses, or are they critical of them?
