In the article, the author tries to establish a new language for imaging the complex process of identification in adolescent girls in Terakowska’s work (especially in Lustro Pana Grymsa) in the light of girlhood studies. She revises the male-centered theories of Lacanian views on the child’s identity, the concept of “becoming-girl” of Pierre Péju, the mythopoetic reflection of Joseph Campbell, and contemporary feminist concepts on female identity (Lasara Allen, Pinkola Estés, Maureen Murdock). The subject’s analysis led her to conclude that analyzing Terakowska’s work can contribute to developing the “girl-method”. Terakowska constructs an uncanny way of thinking about “becoming-a-girl”, where she redefines the female archetype Femella – the divine girl and introduces the patterns of adolescent identity development in girls, which the author calls the second phase of the Mirror Stage.
