Abstract	The aim of this paper is to present the female literary tradition and the circumstances of its development. The first part of the paper is concerned with the historical background of the female literary tradition, as well as with representations of women in literature. Each chapter elaborates on a certain historical period, naming in this way the most important features of each literary period. The second part of the paper is concerned with the analysis of two literary works written by influential female contemporary writers. These two authors are Doris Lessing and Alice Walker. Both are still quite active in their literary careers, and their novels The Golden Notebook and The Color Purple show the greatness of their literary talent, as will be presented by the detailed analysis of each work. Both novels depict the present social situation, focusing particularly on the female subculture. Doris Lessing is a British and Alice Walker an African American author. Choice of two contemporary female authors of different ethnic background was made on purpose. The aim was to demonstrate different historical and cultural positions of the two female subcultures and to raise general awareness about the complexity of the position African American women were, i.e. some still are, in.
