New Women’s Prose/ Heroines at the Zenith

The panel discussion that is a part of the ‘Heroines at the Zenith’ festival will be held at the Zenit Books bookstore, on 10 June, within the Heroines programme arch.

It does not matter how old you are, it does not matter who your literary role model is, nor which writer leaves you breathless. It is important that you read, and it is important that you are encouraged to write.

Some of the heroines of contemporary prose, who we will meet on the second day of the festival are Mirjana Novaković, Ana Vučković and Katarina Mitrović, with the wholehearted help of Professor Vladislava Gordić Petković.

The four-day festival ‘Heroines at the Zenith’ opens a space for presentation, getting acquainted with and opening dialogue with important female prose writers, poets, literary critics, and editors in publishing houses with an unequivocally thoughtful and enlightened feminist view of the world.

Literature created by women has not been synonymous with the margin for a long time: precisely, it puts local literary production in the European and international context by re-examining the dominant ideological canon and implicit male-centric policies of exclusivity and violence.

On the third day of the festival, attendees will be able to meet the editors in publishing, while on the fourth day they will have the opportunity to hear from female literary critics.

Erste Bank is the partner of the Heroines programme arch.
