Abstracts

EN

In her paper, the authoress examines the first ever Slovak feminist theatre play, written in 1997. Thanks to the gender aspect, the play amusingly demythicises the key personalities of the 19th century Slovak national revival. Lindovská interprets Juráňová’s texts as a sign of diffusion of feminist inspirations in the Slovak theatre after 1989. The infiltration of feminism into Slovakia is understood as a component part of the democratization process of society and culture. She analyses the play in the context of the creation and civic participation of Jana Juráňová, and brings to the reader’s attention those features which the play has common with Top Girls by Caryl Churchill as well as its distinguishing features (1982).
