Female representation in Nélida Piñon's novel 'founder'

Abstract

Nélida Piñon (1937-2022) was one of the leading Brazilian writers of the twentieth century. Piñon explored themes related to identity, power, love, and resistance, and her female characters often challenge traditional stereotypes of the genre. She has made a name for herself by giving a voice to strong, independent women who have faced challenges and are pursuing their own life path.

This work aims at women's freedom against patriarchy in the novel of her authorship entitled ''Founder'' based on the article by Lúcia Osama Zolin, from 2008, called ''The representation of Women in the Narrative of Nélida Piñon''.

In the novel, Piñon addressed the conditions of women against the social expectations imposed on them, in the struggle for equality.
