Female Writer in Latin America: Reflection on the Influence of Feminism and Its Importance in Contemporary Literature

Abstract

The cultural, political, social, economic marginalization of women and the little intellectual authority granted to them negatively influenced the writing, publication and dissemination of female writers’ materials, but with the transcendental changes in Latin America, greatly influenced by the feminist movement, it made with a new configuration of social and cultural spaces, favoring the consolidation of feminist organizations and popular women's organizations. In addition, the increasing inclusion of women in the labor market reflected changes in the family and created a new collective imagination. With that in mind, this work aimed to evaluate and raise a reflection on the evolution of female writer literature in Latin America and the impacts generated in today's productions, the 21st century. Through research carried out through books and digital articles in a period from 2010 to 2022, it was found that women are gaining a little more space in the publishing market and becoming avid readers, however, even as the majority in the search for books, women still do not dominate the production of works in Latin American countries and still do not influence the favoritism of the male public.
