Abstract.
The article is devoted to studying artistic originality of the essay “Making Babies: Stumbling into Motherhood” (2004) by the modern English-speaking writer Anne Enright. The paper aims to reveal specificity of the mother image and the child image interpretation. Scientific originality of the study is conditioned by the fact that the problem of the woman’s status in the Irish society has not been previously investigated from the viewpoint of literary criticism; this issue remains hotly debated and attracts special attention of foreign and domestic literary critics. Relying on the findings, the researchers conclude that Enright’s artistic techniques promote formation of a cardinally new Irish woman image in the Irish national worldview.
