The article focuses on the dramatic work of the Slovak writer Jana Bodnárová (b. 1950) in the intersections of feminist tendencies and “women’s writing” as conceptualised by Hélène Cixous in her manifesto The Laugh of the Medusa (1976). The paper analyses the plays that J. Bodnárová wrote after 1989. Thematically, these concentrate mainly on violence and cruelty against women in various forms. J. Bodnárová depicts women’s experience in relation to the theme of physicality. She interprets the female body as lived and experienced, capable of constantly reshaping its boundaries and unmasking inner movements. In Bodnárová’s texts, the body is a constructive tool through which the author can approach the misogynistic thinking that encloses women in their bodies. In the context of the phenomenon of “women’s writing,” the theme of empowering women’s “voice” on the basis of artistic creation comes to the fore. Affinities are present with Hélène Cixous’s drama Portrait de Dora (1976, second revised edition 1986) which focuses on the motif of the forms of sexual abuse and trauma women experience that are the results of society’s patriarchal character.

This study specifies three forms of autobiographical writing: the prose by Jana Bodnárová’s takmer neviditeľná (almost invisible, 2008), whose title (beginning with a lowercase letter) suggests the dissolution of the subject in fragments from her past and present life; the hybrid “novel” by Katarína Kucbelová Čepiec (2019; The Bonnet, 2024), in which the autobiographical line is one of its many layers; and Michaela Rosová’s novella Tvoja izba (Your room, 2019), both revealing and concealing hidden layers of the self. Through the texts in question and secondary literature, the article documents not only the revitalization of autobiographical approaches in Slovak women’s writing after 2000, but also the reinforcement of its fictionalization.

Motifs of the body and physicality figure in the literary work of writer Jana Bodnárová (b. 1950) as thematic starting points and strategic analytical tools. The essay analyses Bodnárová’s plays Staroba en noir ([Old age en noir] 2022) and Kolísky ([Cradles] 2012) which accentuate the issues of the body and corporeality from the perspective of women’s personal empirical experiences of motherhood, abortion, and old age in line with feminist tendencies. In these plays, Bodnárová portrays the human body as lived and consciously experienced in relation to its surroundings, but also as finite and changeable. She presents the female body as a social and political object through which she draws attention to the negative influence of patriarchal power and its structures. The theoretical framework of the essay is based on a combination of phenomenology, anthropology, and feminist theory. Another line of interpretation the article follows is the depiction of thematic shifts between the two plays and the author’s previous work (especially the play Dievča z morského dna [The girl from the bottom of the sea] 2008), also concentrating on the questioning of the stereotype of women’s innate desire for motherhood.
