One can hardly study Russophone literature without diving into its
classics, which is mostly represented by the realist writers and poets2
. Lermontov,
Gogol, Dostoyevsky, Chekhov, Tolstoy, all of these prominent authors belong to
the realist movement and constitute an integral part of the Russophone literary
canon. Notably, the overwhelming majority of the canonized literary works from
the realist period is written by the men writers. Yet there were women writers of
the same period, who produced influential writing pieces, as much as were actively
involved in the literary circles, their publications seem to receive considerably less
attention compared to the men writers.
