Description: The objective of this work is to promote a research about female characters from three novels by Graciliano Ramos: S. Bernardo (1934), Angústia (1936) and Vidas secas (1938). Against patriarchal order in the first decades of the 20th century, these women from gracilianic books prefigure some conquests in the 60's. Based on concepts provided by Roberto Reis (A permanência do círculo), Roberto DaMatta (A casa & a rua), Gilberto Freyre (Casa-grande & senzala), Affonso Romano de Sant'Anna (O canibalismo amoroso) and Antonio Candido (Ficção e confissão), this study searches for the female role in a masculine world, subverting it as it tries to get rid of this restriction imposed by men.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 129-134).
