Abstract

Marija Jurić Zagroka jedna je od najpoznatijih hrvatskih spisateljica, ali i ikona hrvatskog feminizma te prva hrvatska novinarka. Osim feminizmom, Zagorka se aktivno bavila i politikom. Nakon djetinjstva i mladosti koji su bili ispunjeni raznim tužnim i stresnim događajima, Zagorka se posvetila svojoj novinarskoj, ali i književnoj karijeri. Na svom je putu nailazila na mnoge prepreke i neodobravanja od strane muških kolega, ali i žena – pripadnica visokog društva. Svoje je težnje i ideale gorljivo branila usprkos svim nedaćama, a isticala se po svojoj borbi za dobrobit naroda i domovine. Od njenih mnogobrojnih djela, najpoznatiji su upravo povijesni romani u kojima piše o događajima važnim za Hrvatsku, suprotstavljajući se germanizaciji i mađarizaciji. Jedan od takvih djela je i Gordana u kojoj se ističu snaži ženski likovi, oblikovani karakteristikama koje je Zagorka i sama željela posjedovati te idealima kojima je i sama težila. Najvažniji likovi romana su Gordana i kraljica Beatrica. Cilj ovoga rada je predstaviti ženske likove iz romana Gordana kroz njihov utjecaj na politička zbivanja te pritom prikazati kako je samo Zagorkino iskustvo utjecalo na njihovo oblikovnje. U radu su, uz Zagorkinu biografiju i opis karijere, predstavljena i spomenuta dva lika (uz još neke) te istaknute njihove upečatljive karakteristike te načini interveniranja u politici koja se smatrala „muškim“ područjem.

Abstract (english)

Marija Jurić Zagorka was one of the most famous Croatian writers, but also an icon of Croatian feminism and the first Croatian female journalist. Besides feminism, Zagorka was also interested in politics. After a very sad and stressful childhood and adolescence, Zagorka devoted herself to her journalistic and literary career. Throughout her career, she encountered many obstacles and disapproval from her male colleagues and high-society women. She fiercely defended her aspirations and ideals despite all the troubles she encountered. Zagorka was most famous for her fight for the welfare of the people and her country. Among her numerous works, the most popular are her historical novels in which she writes about historical events important for Croatia, opposing Germanization and Hungarization. One of these historical novels is Gordana which features strong female characters shaped by the ideals Zagorka herself aspired to and the traits she herself wanted. The most important characters in Gordana are Gordana and Queen Beatrice. The goal of this paper is to present female characters in Gordana through their influence on political events and how Zagorka's own experience shaped them. Besides Zagorka's biography and career description, this paper also presents the most important female characters from Gordana, their striking characteristics and their ways of intervening in politics, which were considered a male domain.
