Abstract

In the article, the author analyses the book written by Karolina Jędrych entitled Portret dziewczynki, dziewczyny i kobiety w powieściach Marii Krüger [The Image of a Little Girl, an Adolescent, and a Woman in the Novels of Maria Krüger] (2017), which is a forerunner monograph devoted to the works of the title writer, focused on precisely defined issues that concerns girls and women, presented from the perspective of feminist criticism and gender studies. The author concludes that Jędrych’s monograph entails interesting and innovative recognition of Krüger’s literature and sets new directions for research on these works or the works of authors writing similarly to Krüger, whose prose directed to girls and women requires a reliable description from the perspective of feminisms. It seems that only a critical reading of literature addressed to girls, embedded in new methodologies, can give it a second life and explain to contemporary readers the phenomenon of the former popularity of this genre.
