Encouraged by Povilas Višinskis, Žemaitė wrote a first short story "Autumn Evening" in Ušnėnai in 1894. P. Višinskis proposed this short story to G. Petkevičaitė-Bitas and J. Jablonskis, thanks to whom the short story was published in the "Real Lithuanian Farmers' Calendar for 1895". At the suggestion of J. Jablonskis, the editorial board gave the author the penname of Žemaitė, since the short story is written in the Samogitian dialect. Žemaitė wrote about 354 short stories, short stories, short stories, short stories, images, a dozen plays, a story about childhood, publicistic articles, correspondence.
