Abstract
Gender as a category helps to clarify the specific nature of the aesthetic object and the aesthetic event in fiction prose. The gender component reveals itself in visual manifestations of style. As the language proves to be the means of realization of human biological intentions, gender tends to influence the formation of the aesthetic object and the aesthetic event valid for the triad author-character-reader, accounting for its variability.
The first novel by the Pulitzer Prize winner Barbara Kingsolver, a writer of the second wave of American feminism, is an illustration of such processes.
