My Career. Women's Prose of the 1920s

The new anthology of popular literature from the 1920s includes prose samples by four female authors. All of them had different lives in the Roaring Twenties, but each was able to become a writer, enter the literary world, and write without having such favorable prerequisites for this as, say, Lesya Ukrainka or Olga Kobylyanska, who came from wealthy families. The heroines of the proposed texts are also independent and emancipated. They struggle with traditional folk morality, reflect on relationships and their role in them, find themselves faced with an important life choice – and make it, without looking back at established hierarchies.
