The first poems of Mysovskaya were published in " Domestic Notes " in 1873. In the “ Pantheon of Literature ” by Chudinov, her translations of A. Musset were published, which in 1896 came out as a separate publication. On behalf of A. N. Ostrovsky, she translated the comedy de Banville's "Socrates Wife" in verse and reworked the English extravaganza comedy "White Rose", which was to serve as the first experience in realizing Ostrovsky’s thought about replacing the ballet with "dramatized fairy tales"; but due to the death of Ostrovsky this experiment did not take place. She also wrote a number of folk tales and short stories, also published in a separate edition. Letters to her of Ostrovsky were printed in Russian Thought of 1890, No. 12.
