Abstract

The essay addresses two novels written by female authors --Jean Rhys and Anacristina Rossi-- to propose their reading as a ritual and as a journey. The personal and intimate proposal undergone by the essayist leads her to raise, at first and intuitively, a correlation between Antoinette and Mariestela, main characters of the novels, by contrasting, later on, regarding their feminine traits that unite and differentiate them simultaneously. Finally, the essay proposes an approach up to the writing process considering femininity as a closing line for the reading it started.
