O deslocamento feminino no romance contemporâneo

This paper takes up the reflection of gender identity in novels by Lya Luft and Helena Parente Cunha, by means of gender studies. It starts with a feminist conception for the analysis of parody of women's movement as a form of resistance to the patriarchy.
