Women writers have contributed to European cultural heritage since ancient times, but due to the social status of women in different cultures and periods, their creativity has not been recognized as an integral and important part of the literary field. The knowledge of the wider audience about the important representatives of the national literatures is still not at the same level as the knowledge about male writers. Even less aware are we of the fact that single authors, although they may have already received a place on the national Parnassus, are not isolated cases, but constitute a wider cultural space and movement.
