Exorcizando silencios. Reflexiones sobre la escritura femenina marroquí

Abstract

From 1954 until now, the number of female Moroccan writers is going up and they are more confident in the power of writing, if not directly in order to change the mentality and negative perceptions of all things feminine, then at least in order to allow for personal liberation and the affirmation of themselves. And they know how to transform their language into an instrument of work on what is real and what is imaginary and break taboos and silence. It is by way of the short story and the novel, and to a smaller extent, of dramatic writing, that they have been able to occupy the literary space which they needed to occupy in order for their female voices to be heard.
