Abstract:
In the focuse of the article is a well-known metaphorical image of Ukraine in the
historiosophical Malanyuk's lyrics. Feministic approach and especially classical Simona de
Beauvoir's work "The Second Sex" helps the author to enterpret the metaphore which organizes
the historiosophical myth. The author proves that Malanyuk in his own manner continues and
revaluates Ukrainian folk tradition and Shevchenko"s canon of "Ukraine-mother".
