Abstract

This work aims to discuss the representation of violence against women in contemporary literature according to gender studies. Based on the analysis of the short story “Marido”, by Portuguese writer Lídia Jorge, and the short story “Destino: Sé”, by Brazilian writer Simone Paulino, we aim to discuss the female stereotypes built throughout the narratives and their implications for a critique of violence against women in contemporary literature.
