Summary/Abstract: The research methodology involves an experimental combination of two different discourses within one interpretation: a philological method and second-wave feminism. Exa¬mined in the context of logic of tosamość and écriture féminine, Strach w Zameczku is a women’s writing. I have analysed Mostowska’s novel as a subversive act. The author reviews the myth of male rationality. The paradigm of a character as a depositary and subject of mind is confronted in the article with a paradigm of an irrational female protagonist with the characteristics of Otto Weininger’s absolute woman. The isomorphism of knowledge and masculinity and the isomorphism of absence and femininity are undermined.
