in the collection of stories "My Husband," it is created portraits of different women, with the common thread being that husbands are the central focus of their lives and actions. Rumena, by creating the characters of her heroines, boldly, cheekily, and wittily plays with all the clichés of the local context, precisely forming the iconography of the patriarchy in which we are all trapped. The dynamics of relationships are always the same - the man is on a pedestal, while the woman in the gray zone of existence realizes her goals and needs without disrupting or threatening the male position of power. We protest against the patriarchy because patriarchy is our reality, and it will be for a long time. In such a socio-political framework, where neither men nor women are well, we tell stories about women we all know, who are our closest environment, and often it's us ourselves.
