The article is an attempt to reflect on the women’s experience of working on transgenerational trauma on example of the novel by Joanna Bator entitled Gorzko, gorzko. Due to the cultural marginalization and stigmatization, the process of understanding or interrupting intergenerational transmission of trauma costs women a lot of effort and sometimes do not succeed at all. The text analyses four generations mother-daughter (sometimes grandmother-granddaughter) relationships, in which the youngest family member tries to break the transgenerational transmissions to begin consciously creating her own future as free from the suffering of others.
