Abstract
The dynamics of women’s writing, because of contacts made during political and cultural history, is uneven in the fields of culture and in the geographical areas of the Croatian context. The paper makes reference to the dynamics of the literary energy of women writers in urban areas in Slavonia. The first signs of women’s writing appear in Slavonski Brod (Jagoda Brlić, Ivana Brlić Mažuranić) and Osijek (Josipa Glembay and Jagoda Truhelka), then in Vinkovci and Požega (Marija Tucaković Grgić, Zdenka Marković, Zlata Kolarić Kišur), and in the middle of the 20th century around Županja, Vrbanja and Drenovac (Mara Švel Gamiršek). It was not until the ends of the 20th century that Đakovo began to add to the pages of women’s writing (Ružica Eletz Lazarov), who with motifs and reflections from everyday life approaches emotional images of the Croatian national guards and their courage. From Srijem female vibrations expand through the didactic sketches of Marije Tomšić-Im and Ivanka Vujčić-Lašowski, while Vukovar war reporter Alenka Mirković records the experience of her life in the setting of the destruction of the war.
The importance of the cities, read in this work, will show that they are incessantly, diachronically and synchronically, expressed in various forms of women’s literary energy, which among other things, provides for their recognisability, personality and constancy.
