"Slav sons are keen to show their strength and worth. Why should Slav daughters not have the same desire? This is why I have decided to try to write something in my own mild language and I dare send into daylight one story from my collection and ask you to include it in your publication. [letter from Turnograjska to Anton Janežič;, the editor of Slovenska bčela, the magazine in which Turnograjska published her first texts]
