This work is devoted to the study of the corporeality of language in the novels "The Body" and "Love for Six" by the emigrant writer, Ekaterina Vasilievna Bakunina, as a means of constructing female authorship within the context of patriarchal emigre discourse. Based on researches of emigration and women's writing, I examine the patterns and rules that builds Bakunina's writing, and demonstrate that her language, rooted in an already-established tradition of women's writing, employs corporeality as a strategy for literary realisation and as means to discuss individual and collective female experience, as well as to challenge and exit the patriarchal discourse of emigre literature.
