Chick lit genre in contemporary Ukrainian literature for women

Vol.24,No.1(2021)

Abstract
The present study concentrates its interest on the emergence of a new, modern literary genre of women's prose – the so-called chick lit, since its appearance in the middle nineties in English written popular literature (from the origination of the novel Bridget Jones's Diary in 1996) to the beginning of 2000s in Ukrainian literature written by women-authors, above all in novels of Natalka Sniadanko (The Passion Collection, or The Adventures and Misadventures of a Young Ukrainian Lady) and Svitlana Pyrkalo (Green Margarita and Don't Think About Red), while demonstrating occuring elements of the new genre and pointing out its evident symbiosis with postfeminist trends in contrast to feminism which is being taken as an outdated movement and ideology, no longer necessary in today's society.
