Unpublished works are stored in the funds of the Institute of Manuscripts of the National Library of Ukraine named after V. Vernadsky. The analysis is carried out in a comparative aspect. The comparative approach is used to supplement the traditional interpretation of the work’s by disclosing other levels of each Grinchenko’s family member creative manner and biography. Analyzed works are chosen cause of need to enter them into scientific circulation. The aim of this paper is to highlight the new aspects of the gender discourse in Grinchenko’s family works and to show their connection and distinctive features. Ukrainians fought for their freedom in Ukrainian lands divided between the two empires. Women’s movement was a logical continuation of this struggle. Boris and Maria Grinchenko theoretically interpreted the "women's question" due to the special treatment of a woman whose remains were preserved in Ukrainian intelligent families. In addition, they, according to their beliefs, brought up their only daughter Anastasia (Nastya). Then Nastya Grinchenko became at the forefront of the universal struggle for creating a new society based on partnership and mutual respect. It is shown the prospects for further research in the global context of the Ukrainian literary process in the end of XIX – early XX century.
