“…Her background was extensive, her acquaintance in liter ary circles was wide (through Zhukovsky and through Pushkin whom she knew while living in Odessa) and, as it turned out later, she had talent. Unlike her relati ve A. P. Bunina (1774-1829), who made her debut as a poet in 1806 and had to struggle with society's prejudice against women writers, Anna Zontag's first steps in literature twenty years later were relatively painless: although some prejudice still existed, society had largely recognized that women were also capable of literary work 143 Anna's husband supported her attempts and helped her with her translations. Her first published work-a translation of a novel by Sir Walter Scott-appeared in 1825; later she wrote several collections of didactic stories for children and became a prominent children's writer.…”

The poet did not undertake to find out what the young girl's thoughts and dreams were, so I will try to reconstruct them. Fantastic as they sometimes are, dreams nevertheless reflect the ideals predominant in society and express people's attitudes toward personal happiness and social well-being. The realities of life inevitably underlie them. Individual circumstances, as well as many social, economic, and cultural factors, have a bearing upon the relationship between a person's dreams and reality. Closely interwoven, they make up a sort of microcosm that may be balanced or conflicted. Focusing primarily on the intellectual side of this microcosm, I will consider the aspirations of Russian provintsial 'nye baryshni (provincial young ladies) and their everyday life over the 150-year period after Peter the Great's reforms.

The article discusses the evolution of female images in the literary and critical writings of I.A. Grinevskaya in 1890s–1900s. The analysis focuses on early works of the author, which reproduce different female types, their life and experiences. In the 1890s Grinevskaya describes recognizable situations in the home and family and women in their traditional roles. By the 1900s her attention shifts to serious social problems, which affects on her interest towards certain types of women, men and their relationships. In the play “Bab” (1903), the main characters, the prophet Bab and his follower Khuret, depart from traditional gender patterns of behavior. One of the main storylines is the women’s movement led by Khuret, which touches upon issues relevant to women at the beginning of the 20th century: women’s education, prejudice against the age, appearance and behavior of women. The play “Bab” marks the beginning of a new stage in the evolution of Grinevskaya’s creativity and worldview. In the late 1900s she herself becomes a member of the women’s movement, and the problems identified in the play will be discussed in her lectures in the 1900s.
