Literary texts, and especially those that are aesthetically mediocre or even pretentious, have been an important platform for political expression in the interwar Europe. A significant number of Polish (and foreign) women writers in the 1920s and 1930s, such as Wanda Miłaszewska, Zofia Kossak, Pola Gojawiczyńska, and Halina Krahelska – to mention only a few representative names – wrote many personal and fictional narratives about female experience, regional culture, and collective identity. However, while male writers’ contribution to literary regionalism has been well documented, the contribution of female authors to the development of regional writing and regional identities has not been explored as thoroughly as it ought to be. This article proposes a new approach to analyzing regional women’s writing by drawing particularly on studies of women’s literature, comparative literature, and geopoetics. It poses a number of research questions whose aim is to spark a debate in this area.
