The article deals with the phenomenon of emancipation that can be found in two novels by Croatian authors, namely Plein air by Jagoda Truhelka and Ispovijest by Milka Pogačić. Both novels were composed during the Croatian modernist period and are unique in their form as they are male diaries, though written by women. The authors attempted to deal with women’s emancipation, an issue that saw a rise in importance in Croatian society at the beginning of the 20th century. Each of the authors deals with the theme in a different way. The main characters of Truhelka’s novel are confronted with women’s emancipation directly and accept it as right in the end. The main characters of the second novel are firmly anchored in contemporary conventions, absurdity of which is shown in escalated situations they find themselves in.
