Abstract
The paper examines two works written by the little-known author Ruža Marasova – Zapisi Ruže Marasove (Imotski, 1994) and Pisma od života (Zagreb, 2015) – in the context of folk literature and women’s writing. In terms of content and form, the local Imotski, folk, and women’s discourse is explored through the interweaving of personal, family, local, and collective narratives in prose and verse. The analysis of folk and women’s discourses draws on the works of Croatian and foreign literary theorists and historians, and scholars of feminist literary criticism, while the linguistic analysis of selected dialectal texts is based on articles by Josip Lisac and Iva Lukežić. The initial chapters identify the thematic and expressive features that position the selected works within the tradition of folk literature. The following part examines the extent to which Marasova’s texts can be regarded as examples of women’s writing. The conclusion affirms that Marasova is an unjustly marginalized author whose work possesses didactic, chronicling, and ethnological value in the 21st century.
