In his work titled Wymiary dzieła literackiego (The dimension of a literary work) Henryk Markiewicz wrote that among the issues related to literary characters there is a function of the protagonist towards “other elements of the work, characters from other works, extraliterary reality”. The subject of this article are women in the work of Jewish writers. The deliberations based on anthropology concern the following works: Satan in Goray and The Magician of Lublin by Isaac Bashevis Singer, From the Fair by Sholem Aleichem and The Nazarene by Sholem Asch. The beginning of the article, showing the social standing of Jewish women, dictated by the Torah and other sources of Israeli law as well as social conventions, introduces the reader into various ways of realization of the invariant dependent on those rules. The characters described have been presented in the way that makes it possible to discern both similarities and contrasts.
