This thesis arises from the challenge of understanding how the image of one of the submerged population - the female population - is drawn in the literary framework of the short story genre, in modern times, calling attention to the condition of subjection and inferiority in which women live and that outstands in different cultures. Thus, we dedicated ourselves to the study of those narratives that show the female universe through its protagonists’ characters, their communities and their interactions, in order to understand how the inferior population, the submerged population behaves in individuality, as an identity and, socially, as a reference, according to the concept of submerged population of the Irish literary critic, Frank O'Connor. His theory underlies the concept of submerged population, the marginal population, providing a basis for understanding the positions of women as characters and as members of a society, a marginalized social group that has no voice, that does not represent itself in its own process of conception and identification, and it is marked by its inferior social value.This thesis analyzes in its corpus seven short-stories with narratives from different cultures, namely: The Lady in the mirror: reflection and reflection (1927), by Virginia Woolf; Birds(1999), by Ana Miranda; Boule de Suif(1880), by Gui de Maupassant; Eveline (1920), by James Joyce; The Shadow Enigma (2015), by Sandra Lemos; Passion(1948), by Sean O`Faolain; Trip to Petrópolis (1964), by Clarice Lispector,The problem raises a questioning about the transition from the individual to the social environment by the process of a rite of passage in a brief and unique moment in which the characters undergo their social exclusion and are framed as members of the submerged population, a concept that is only possible in the short-story because of its structural characteristics of brevity and tension suitable for being applied to the corpus. We resorted to some critics to give a theoretical basis to this thesis: Sean O’Faolain, Frank O'Connor, Piglia, Cortázar, Edgar Allan Poe, Ricoeur, Levinas, Van Gennep, Victor Turner, among others. Troughout the development of the three chapters, analysing each one of them according to the three raised hypotheses, the theories and themes are proposed in dialogue with the narratives. We focused on demonstrating the way how the feminine voice becomes aware of its inferiority through the vision of social alterity defining itself as a member of the submerged population. suggesting the way how the characters are individually transformed
