Women Writers’ Route
European Women Writers’ Cultural Route

The Women Writers’ Route, a Council of Europe Cultural Route, explores the lives and literary legacies of women writers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, linking key symbolic and historical sites associated with their journeys.

Their unique role in the history and cultural heritage of the Slavic world, as well as Europe as a whole, has been incredibly important, yet often overlooked. The Writers’ Journey offers a remarkable narrative that brings their lives and creativity into focus. It connects both symbolic and physical locations tied to their lives and work—museums, memorial rooms, reading rooms, monuments, cafés, libraries, and other public spaces. Visitors are guided through both real and imagined places, discovering their life stories, literary achievements, linguistic skills, and their struggles for equality and human rights.

The Women Writers’ Route provides inspiring presentations, dynamic stories, and a wide range of cultural activities and exchanges. It represents a vital contribution to the development of European culture, human rights, and democracy.
