| Abstract: | The paper examines Zofka Kveder's letters to discover the ways in which she depicts her own sexual experiences, including orgasm. Mihurko Poniž will also look for representations of sexual desire in Kveder's literary texts written in Slovenian, German, Czech and Croatian language. The latter show that Kveder was obviously not as open and direct when writing literature. Through the analysis of letters to her friends and journal editors, Kveder's struggles against the censorship of her texts by editors will be presented. These findings will be embedded in the broader historical context of bourgeois double standards and their consequences not only for women in general but for women writers in particular. The issue of (self-)censorship will be touched upon and discussed in the context of Kveder's work. Being in a special position of an author between cultures, Kveder was allowed a certain freedom in the representation of female sexual desire, which would probably not have been possible if she had been perceived only as a Slovenian writer. Therefore, the paper will explore the intersection of nationality, literature, and sexuality in the case of Zofka Kveder’s works and ego-documents. |
