This paper aims to investigate the representation of girl and women in the infant-juvenile work of Marina Colasanti. We will analyze two writer of fairy tales: "Beyond the Rack" and "The weaver girl", both published in the book Before turning Giant (2003). In these analyzes, we present the relationship between feminist criticism and the gender perspective, investigating how the author allows reflections on representation of women at different stages of life. These characters appear seeking new social roles based on their autonomy and independence. This shows a redefinition over traditional narratives that present the female characters well marked by submission and subordinated to male power. The theoretical contribution of this paper present the studies of Regina Zilberman and Marisa Lajolo, Nelly Novaes Coelho the important analysis around the historic character and theme that contribute to a more conscious and systematic view of children's narratives and youth from various eras. Also approaches Lucia Zolin, Cecil Zinani, Heloisa Buarque de Holanda, serve as a reference for a more specific view of feminist criticism and gender representations in literature. So show how Marina Colasanti builds his characters, resuming the origins of children's literature, yet allowing a (re) signification of the social roles that have been defined throughout history.
