They revisit and defy female narratives within a liberal Catholic modernity by representing the flaws of a patriarchal ideology through sexual and legal contracts. In these aesthetic projects gender is a form of marginalization embedded in an authoritarian state morality and law regulated by marriage and the family. In this context, female aggression and unconventional sexuality become a double threat both to masculinity and to the process of modernization. These writers challenge a logocentric linguistic system through discursive strategies that organize a new narrative model, showing that motherhood and womanhood inevitably conflict in the public sphere and rights of citizenship. Bernardita Llanos M. is Professor of Spanish and Women's Studies at Denison University. 606 $aChilean fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFeminism and literature$zChile 606 $aLiterature and society$zChile 615 0$aChilean fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFeminism and literature 615 0$aLiterature and society 676 $a863/.6099287/0982 700 $aLlanos M$b Bernardita$f1958-$01304876 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974392903321 996 $aPassionate subjects$94480318 997 $aUNINA
