Abstract

This paper analyses narrative strategies used in the autobiography of Yekaterina Dashkova, an
unusual public figure of the 18th-century Russia. Due to the nature of her performance within the
gender normed context construction of textual identity becomes a series of narrative
compromises between the public and the private roles, which is here presented with a special
emphasis on the issues of gender and relationality.
