The paper deals with comparison of different ways of portraying a female terrorist revolutionary in texts that became a part of a revolutionary mythology at the beginning of XX century. Russian literature, dealing with the character of a terrorist revolutionary since the publication of Sergei Stepniak-Kravchinsky’s Underground Russia focused on the charater of a female terrorist with forming the Party of Socialist Revolutionaries where the representation of women was higher than ever before. Boris Savinkov in The Pale Horse and Leonid Andreyev in The Seven Who Were Hanged both depicted a female terrorist as a member of a terrorist group but despite the atempts to introduce the woman as a common member of the group the authors interconnected her character with archetypes that are asscociated solely with a woman.
