Abstract

This article considers the phenomenon of use of masculine grammatical foms in the speaking subjects of several important women poets of the 1990s and 2000s, applying western feminist and literary theory and sometimes drawing parallels with classics of Russian poetry. Poets cited include Anna Gorenko, Evgeniia Lavut, Mariia Stepanova, Marianna Geide, Aleksandra Petrova, Elena Fanailova, Anna Glazova, and Natal’ia Kurchatova, The author concludes that women may have become the leaders among contemporary Russian poetry precisely because they were excluded from the symbolic (Soviet) order, even if they still need to “mask” themselves in protective masculine language.
