In this study, we problematize the relations between history and fiction in four short stories that compose the afro-brazilian narrative Só as mulheres sangram, written by Lia Vieira (2017). The work points to the social vulnerability of the black population in Brazil, and to slavery, colonial and patriarchal heritages. In order to solve these questions, the research, bibliographical and analytical, has as its theoretical basis the relations between History and Literature (PESAVENTO, 2003; RICOUER, 1997; GINZBURG, 2007); the conception of Afro Brazilian literature (DUARTE, 2007); and Theory of the Tale (GOTLIB, 2012; MARIA, 2004). The analysis allowed us to conclude that the stories maintain constant dialogue with the historical reality in which they are inserted. By emphasizing the affectivity and ancestry of black people, as well as female emancipation, such narratives value the identity and enunciative locus of these subjects, thus encourages reflection on the need to address inequalities and hegemonic flows.
