The undergraduate thesis deals with the literary oeuvre of Slovenian author Vesna Lemaić, with an emphasis on the female characters that appear in it. In this diverse range of literary texts, women appear very frequently, mostly in leading roles. The characters were analysed using narratological methods and a feminist context. They show up in different social situations, surrounded by various problems that plague the contemporary society. The themes that Lemaić raises in her texts are complex, as are the women she writes about. They are often representatives of marginalized groups who, in one way or another, reject the system in which they live in. They cope with their circumstances, with themselves and sometimes with the whole world at the same time.
