In the text we deal with the Judith Butler‘s concept of performativity (reiterative power of discourse to produce and perform a type of constructed identity) in relation to contemporary polish women‘s literature. Also thanks to Judith Butler traditional boundaries between masculinity and femininity are shifting.
