Jasna Šamić belongs to the most interesting writers and represents women’s writing in Bosnia. From 1977 she has been living in Paris and Sarajevo, publishing various types of texts (poetry, novels, essays, short stories, plays) in French and Bosnian. The text is focused on the novel Carstvo sjenki and its vital topic: the relationship of mother and daughter. An important point of reference are the views of feminists of the second wave (Adrienne Rich, Luce Irigaray), because the subject of motherhood was particularly close to them. Jasna Šamić portrays the mother in retrospect, after her death. Particular attention is given to the last period of her life, when she was struggling with an incurable disease – Alzheimer’s disease, which eventually mastered her body and the soul, and had a real influence on the relations between the mother and the daughter, who gradually approach each other and eventually switch the roles.

Alma Lazarevska is one of the most conspicuous modern writers from Bosnia, and her collection of short stories Death in the Museum of Modern Art is a uniquely interesting literary realization included in the current women’s writing about war. There are six short stories where the author described various life experiences of women in besieged Sarajevo. The presentation of the war reality is constructed from the point of view of a female narrator and is fragmentary in its character. The space of the besieged city is limited to the private space of home, the intimate zone inhabited mainly by women. One of the characteristic features of this narration is the precise description, construction of time subject to the memory of the narrator (which results in constant interspersing of the events from before and from the time of the siege, as they determine one another) and body writing (e.g. the motif of home, milk, water and body).
