The feminine writing began in Peru during the colonial period between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, circumscribed to convents and made of letters, legal documents, testimonies, poetry, and an autobiographical writing propitiated by the confessors. At the end of the 19th century an important movement of women who dabbled in literature emerged; followed by the literary and artistic avant-garde of the twenties; and of the contemporary. Voices that haveemerged from a long struggle that women had to fight to prevail in a society that denied them the right to venture into what had always been reserved for men: literature. In this article we study two novels written with a century of difference: Aves sin nido by Clorinda Matto de Turner, published in 1889, and Ximena de dos caminos, by Laura Riesco, in 1994.
