For the objective reasons, Russian masculine literature of the 19th<br>century did not pay attention to maternal subjects, which play an important role<br>in women's prose, especially in the modern one. There is an opinion that the<br>images of mothers depicted by the Russian writers are characterized by a tendency<br>to self-sacrifice, and maternal love seemed to be described as exclusively<br>iconic. This article aims to deny this statement because it’s not based on the<br>historical development of the concept of motherhood. The examples from the<br>works of Nekrasov, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, who portrayed images of mothers,<br>demonstrate that their attitude towards motherhood was based on the understanding<br>of its functions typical to that time. The Russian writers also outlined<br>some trends that would be put forward by feminist criticism in the field of<br>motherhood problems.</p> ER -
