Abstract

The author identifies 19 literary publications about Ukrainian women emigrants and women’s emigration, published in Ukraine and elsewhere between 2000 and 2013. Considering lack of consistency and unanimously accepted terminology when describing these publications, the author suggests to consider the identified texts a separate literary trend worthy of consideration. Following a brief overview of the existing terminology about “(e)migration” and “literature” in a European context, the author proposes to use Adelson’s term “literature of migration” as the most suitable thematic and descriptive term with which to analyze the recent literary explorations of women’s emigration from Ukraine.
