Abstract
The article examines the works of women writers from the 20s-30s. of XX century. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that, for the first time in Russian sinology, the works of popular writers Ling Shuhua, Lu Yin, and Bing Xin have been analyzed. The article concludes that, despite the thematic diversity of the prose works by Chinese women writers, romantic experiences of the female protagonists play a significant role. Unlike the authors of “butterfly romance” novels from the first decade of the 20th century, the women writers of the 1920s-30s broaden the narrative background and give the events they describe a social resonance.
