Kobieta w komunikacji literackiej XX wieku

Abstract

The article presents the phenomenon of literary communication from the perspective of gender studies. It deals with the problem of the growing participation of women in this process throughout the 20th century, and the variety of roles they perform in it: as authors, readers, translators, editors, publishers etc. On the other hand their activities have been regularly undervalued by the mainstream criticism. The author argues that the participation of women in the literary communication, which in the past was perceived as an act of violating cultural norms, today is an obvious, as well as necessary element of cultural life, which doesn't mean that it has lost its subversive potential.
