The Established Woman’s Voice in Macedonian Prose

This article makes an overview of the poetics of Olivera Nikolova (1936) in Velvet Cover („Кадифената покривка“, 2015), Vera Chejkovska (1954) and her Chejka and Chajka („Чејка и чајка”, 2015), Olivera Kjorveziroska (1965) and her Sewn Stories („(Со)шиени раскази“, 2017), Kalina Maleska (1975) and her story collection Clever Pejo, My Enemy („Мојот непријател Итар Пејо”, 2016) and Rumena Buzharovska (1981) in My Husband („Мојот маж“, 2016). All these confirm the women’s need to read themselves in the previous women’s voice through the permanent dialogue that these authors have with themselves, but also with the other prose writers, predecessors, contemporaries, even followers.
