This Master's thesis brings an overview and analysis of the intimate prose of the writer and journalist Slavenka Drakulić. Drakulić is considered one of the most important representatives of women's writing in Croatian literature. With this in mind, the introductory part will present the term "women's writing" and its poetics, and then the emphasis will be placed on women's writing in Croatian literature. In the central and main part of the paper, the intimate features in the novels Hologrami straha, Mramorna koža, Božanska glad i Kao da me nema will be explored. Characteristic of these novels is the motiv of the female body through which the main characters build and create their identity. The body is portrayed in novels as trauma, punishment, but also as a source of desire. With such a choice of topic and way of writing, the author provoked numerous reactions at the time when her works were published. Nevertheless, with her literary and journalistic work, she experienced significant success and left an important mark on the Croatian literary scene.
