A escrita de si dos corpos-vozes femininos na literatura guineense

This article sought to present, through narratives produced in Guinea-Bissau, a space todiscuss and reflect on the relationships between literary knowledge constructed with anemphasis on productions created by women, especially Odete Semedo and Domingas Samy.Odete Semedo is a poet active in issues related to female otherness, the country's political life,and the rights of Guinean women. Domingas Samy also turns her attention to femaleotherness and the traditions of the Guinean people. She was the pioneer of having publishedthe first prose work in Guinea-Bissau – the book of short stories A escola, in 1993, drawingattention to issues such as Portuguese colonialism and arranged marriages. The narratives ofGuinean women writers help us reflect on the fact that literature, politics, and human rightscan be considered together, especially when it comes to literature produced in former Africancolonies under the rubric of black women
