Abstract

This article aims to present the image of the Silesian women emerging from the novels by Anna Dziewit-Meller (Góra Tajget [Mount Taygetus], Od jednego Lucypera [All Because of One Lucifer]). The analysis and interpretation focused on the category of silence inscribed in the studied text allow the author to draw conclusions about the complicated family relationships of women, marked by the twentieth-century history of Upper Silesia. In the article, the author posits a thesis about silence as an immanent trait of Dziewit-Meller’s protagonists, and asks whether they have a chance of breaking out of the circle of traumas passed down in their families.
