The purpose of my article is to present female figures appearing in the selected micro novels written by Kornel Filipowicz. These books contain many different issues, but they are integrated by the motif of everyday life as the space for boredom, a reality that is unbearably fettering, sometimes oppressive towards women, damping their natural psychological needs (dignity, freedom, autonomy). Some heroines remain passive to the pitfalls of fate, others looking for a symbolic consolation. Revealing intimate dramas of the characters, Filipowicz attentive to their emotions, hidden desires, moral reactions and unexpected metamorphoses.
