Well-known Slovak and Slovenian poet, novelist and literary scholar Stanislava Chrobakova Repar presents herself in this set of texts primarily as a literary critic and essayist. The book, with a distinctive title referring to the classic manifesto Helene Cixous Laughter of Medusa, is the result of the author's almost twenty-year systematic effort to apply the stimuli of feminist thinking in Slovak and Slovenian culture. The texts published in the book collection White Ink: Feminist Literary Criticism and Gynocriticism reflect the erudition of S. Chrobakova Repar as a literary scientist, but also an esthetician and philosopher with a broader ideological framework of the research subject. Originally published journal texts (and two book literals), supplemented by the author's introduction, are a contribution to the current thinking about literature and the gender dimensions of society in several respects. In the book, the author critically illuminates works of professional and beautiful literature by Slovak and non-national authors (Blazkova, Haugova, Farkasova, Brezna, Juranova, Cvikova, Ferencuhova, Szymborska, Plath, Kahlo, Makarovic, Ugresic, Frydlova, Kalnicka, Tokarcz .. .), as well as authors (Barsa, Lipovetsky), who think about the forms of "femininity" and its construction.
