This thesis aims to analyze the (In)visibility of gender violence in black-Brazilian literature from the writing of “Quarto de despejo”, by Carolina de Jesus and “Alleys of Memory”, by Conceição Evaristo, relating it to the intersectionality of gender, race, and class. The research fits the line of research Violence, Crime and Public Security for carrying out an interdisciplinary study of gender violence from the Literature. This is a research of qualitative nature, characterized as a critical analysis preceded by a bibliographical review, structured from the writing of the authors from the intersectional approach of gender, race and class. The concepts of different types of violence, gender, sorority and pain are explained to help in the analysis of the works. In canonical literature female participation is minimal, the predominance is of white men such as: Jorge Amado, Lev Tolstói and Shakespeare who discuss gender violence under the bias that the victim is to blame for the violence he suffers, be it physical, patrimonial, sexual or psychological. On the other hand, the black authors Carolina de Jesus and Conceição Evaristo, through their writing, report experiences as residents of the favela in which violence is intersectional, as gender, race and class interfere with the violation of the human rights of black women. Such women suffer discrimination because they are women, either as authors of Brazilian literature, who cannot be part of the literary canon, or as female characters in their works whose fundamental rights are violated. Black women suffer racism and their bodies are exposed as if they were merchandise to be exposed to the avid gazes of men who want to consume them, as the old masters did during the time of slavery. In addition to the sexual issue, black women work in poorly paid jobs, which place them in a situation of subalternity in the face of whiteness, as we can see in the works. Class discrimination occurs with the exposition of the favelada or former favelada when they present the writer Carolina de Jesus.
