This article describes the characteristics of postpartum depression (PPD), its etiology and reasons for making this phenomenon a taboo in contemporary culture. The author analyses cultural representations of postpartum depression, which she sees as one of the most important factors contributing to the phenomenon of removing the masks of motherhood (S. Maushart), growing in force at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. Referring to selected examples from contemporary literature, and contextually also to film (including E. Şafak, N. Fiedorczuk, M. Susdorf, D. Barker,E. Atef), the author discusses the psychological and socio-cultural determinants of PPD, emphasising not only biological, but the mainly existential dimension of this experience and its strong connection to the contemporary norms of femininity and motherhood.

The article concerns women’s presence in the area of art, especially the complex conditions of mothers’ literary activities. The author analyses the most important inhibitors of mothers’ literary works infuenced, among others, by material, psychological and socio-cultural factors in the context of “anxiety of authorship” and indicates their connections with the process of tradition and literary communication building. The works of contemporary mothers (among others S. Plath, E. Şafak, R. Cusk, J. Jagiełło) related to the record of individual experience is, in the context of the subject matter and emancipatory issues, a gesture of regaining “one’s own room” and one’s own voice as well as a basis to re-vise (A. Rich) the canon of creative imagination.
