Sažetak
Sida (Sidonija) Košutić is a Croatian author of the 20th century, whose works, for ideological reasons, were insufficiently interpreted and studied, and the writer herself was often silenced and neglected. Her literature is mostly religiously inspired, and at the same time it problematizes the position of disenfranchised sections of society (women, children, the poor, the weak and the powerless). Thus, her work is permeated by two key ideologues – social (primarily feminist) and religious (Christian). The paper offers a theoretical framework about the life and work of the author and presents the socio-political circumstances she was writing in, which provides an answer to the question about her underrepresentation in the history of Croatian literature. Later, with the growth of interest in Croatian Catholic and women's literature in the 21st century, there was an increased interest in the study of the literary work of Sida Košutić. This master thesis focuses on her book of novellas Mimosa from the Landfill (1942), which speaks about the suffering of the lower classes, the oppressed and abused, and finds the meaning of suffering in eternal salvation. The book is consisted of the following novellas: Mimosa from the Landfill, It's Always Like That, My Dear, Two Beautiful Blue Eyes, The Blind Eyes and finally, a fragment from the novel From our Fields – The Worm is Getting Ready. The paper offers an interpretation of these novellas and a methodical approach to the selected novella. The approach to the work is based on the analysis of women's writing – ideology which includes content related not only to the position of women in society and the issue of creating women's identity, but also to all the other disenfranchised members of society. Furthermore, this paper examines the author’s religious engagement and it explains the purpose of religion when it comes to the suffering of the innocent.
