Basing on the example of Paw królowej [The Queen’s Peacock], the article presents the manner in which Dorota Masłowska problematizes her own situation and position in the world of (pop) culture after the spectacular success of her debut novel White and Red. The paper defines the category of vulnerability and uses it to determine the subject position of the author. Female characters in the book are treated as metaphorical incarnations of Dorota Masłowska, reflecting her emotions related to her vulnerable position.
