Abstract: The interest to the almost forgotten names of female writers of the Silver Ages gas grown over the recent decades. Among them is a prominent and talented Russian and Soviet poetess, translator, writer, play writer, memoirist, journalist T. L. Schepkina-Kupernik. She dedicated approximately 60 years of her life to literary work, and in 1940 was awarded the title of “Honored Master of Arts of RSFSR”. Relevance of the article is defined by the fact that presently the artistic heritage of T. L. Schepkina-Kupernik became undeservingly forgotten, even though it represents great value not only for the Russia, but also for word art history, especially for historians of theatre and literature. Thanks to the translations of T. L. Schepkina-Kupernik, the Russian stage enriched its repertoire, and the audience became acquainted with world-renown dramaturgists. Connoisseurs of the theatrical art were able to appreciate performance of the actors thanks to the memoirs on the actors and peer reviews on their stage performances. An important detail in biography of Tatiana Lvovna consists in her personal experience of acting on stage. The author analyzes the persona of Schepkina-Kupernik from various aspects of her creative work. Analysis is conducted on her work as an actress, writer, translator, and memoirist.
