Two Congenial Female Voices – A World ApartSimović, Saša (Avtor) Vojičić-Komatina, Olga (Avtor) female voiceantebellum AmericaSouth Slavic literary contextchildren’s literatureThe attempt to reconstruct the personality and the literary works of Margaret Fuller and Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić shines the spotlight not only on these extraordinary female figures, two strong female voices coming from two distant parts of the world, Margaret as a writer, Transcendentalist, translator, journal editor and contributor; Ivana as the authoress of short stories, poems, a short novel and collections of fairy-tales, but also from a period of time which represents a prolegomenon in the comprehension of female abilities. Both of these distinguished female figures earned significant reputation: Margaret was the first American female foreign correspondent, and Ivana received two nominations for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Both were ahead of their time and ‘’moved’’ the boundaries, both were dedicated to education and writing, and tried whole-heartedly to influence the improvement of the social position of women. The aim of this paper is to point out their vision of (women’s) writing / children’s literature as well as their contribution to education (of women) in general.20222026-07-23 13:06:31Delo ni kategorizirano31269UDK: 009, 821.163.42:929Brlić-Mažuranić I.ISSN pri članku: 1408-5348DOI: 10.19233/ASHS.2022.08COBISS_ID: 153699843slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
