Abstract
The cultural construction of the journey as a narrative of masculine identity poses
problems for the conceptualization of the female traveller in general and of the
female Russian migrant in particular. Three contemporary prose pieces dealing with
women's migration reveal subtle and often sophisticated ways of playing with the
stigmatization of Russian women as prostitutes and of destabilizing the patriotic
discourse that outlaws women's movement.
