The aim of this study was to analyze the treatment given to the most recurring themes in the contemporary novel by women. The corpus that served as the basis for the analysis consisted of 151 novels written by women and published by the Brazilian publishers Rocco, Record and Companhia das Letras, between the years 2000 and 2015. The methodology comprised the recognition, problematization and interpretation of the constants that permeate such production. The theoretical framework was built through a multidisciplinary perspective that approaches literature in its intersections with the sociocultural context from which it emerges, and with theories that were devised to reflect upon the contemporary world and its artistic manifestations, with an emphasis on the feminist critical theory. KEYWORDS: Female authorship. Contemporary novels. Themes. Feminist subversions.
