The article considers two novels of Ukrainian authors who are women. Modern Ukrainian authors touch upon a question of flesh. They find new ways of presentation of the women's internal and sexual experience: a story is reported from inside of a women's body. This perspective allows Oksana Zabuzhko in her novel 'Pol'ovi doslidzhenniya z ukrainskoho seksu' (Field Work In Ukrainian Sex) to tell not only about sexual experience of a Ukrainian woman, but also to show some mental consequences of political situation in Ukraine in 20th century. Ukraine was one of the republics in Soviet Union; it was governed from Moscow and in fact was one of Russian colonies. Russian language, literature and culture dominated in the whole Soviet empire. For independent views people were imprisoned or deported far from Ukraine. It caused colonial complex in Ukraine. Oksana Zabuzhko shows that in the ill situation Ukrainian people were disabled to build healthy relationships of any kind, also sexual relationships. The second authoress is Natalka Sniadanko. She is 13 years younger than Oksana Zabuzhko. When in 1991 Ukraine became an independent country, she was only 18 years old. The main character of her novel 'Kolektsiya pristrastei, abo prihodi molodoi Ukrainki' (Collection of Passions or the Adventures of an Ukrainian Girl), is a free woman from a free country. She doesn't want to stay in unhealthy relationships. These differences between the two stories reflect social changes in Ukraine in the last 20 years.

The text deals with the meaning of gender for literary historiography. It briefly presents the contexts and impulses of women's and gender studies from the second wave of the feminist movement which concentrated on life and work of women, and, later, on gender relations in the society. The article is particularly based on works published in the mid 1980s (Hiltrud Gnug - Renate Mohrmann, 1985; Sigrid Weigel, 1987; Joan W. Scott, 1986). In the Western Europe and the USA, this period was characterised by a dynamic development of the women's and gender studies, as well as by a strong subversive potential of gender. The definition of gender as an analytic category which has enough power to change historical and literary-historical paradigms comes from the crucial study of Joan W. Scott Gender: A Useful Category of Historical Analysis. In this study, the author puts the question how gender gives meaning to the organization and perception of the historical knowledge.
