Summary/Abstract: IN THIS PAPER I DISCUSS POETRY OF KATALIN LADIK, RADMILA LAZIC AND AIDA BAGIC. I TOOK THEIR WORK AS A SYMPTOMS OF SOCIAL, POLITICAL AND POETICAL CONTEXTS WITHIN WHICH THEY WORKED. LADIK CONSTRUCETED HETEROSEXUAL FEMALE SUBJECT, WORKING WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF LATE SOCIALIST SOCIETY OF FORMER YUGOSLAVIA. SHE WORKED AT THE CROSSROADS OF FORMER YUGOSLAV, SERBIAN, AND HUNGARIAN CULTURES, WITHIN THE RADICAL EXPERIMENTAL LITERARY AND ARTISTIC SCENE. IN POSTSOCIALIST SERBIA OF 1990S, LAZIC STARTED WRITING FEMINIST POETRY WORKING WITHIN HETEROSEXUAL PARADIGM, AND THE DOMINANT IDEOLOGY OF TRANSPARENT LANGUAGE. BAGIC' S POETRY APPEARED FROM THE NGO FEMINIST CONTEXT IN ZAGREB, CROATIA, AND THEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS LIVING BETWEEN CROATIA AND SERBIA, CONSTRACTING LESBIAN SUBJECT.
