The perspective of comparative analysis among the novels O alegre canto da perdiz, written by the Mozambican novelist Paulina Chiziane, Everything good will come, by the Nigerian author Sefi Atta, and Do not go gentle, by the South African Futhi Ntshingila, exposes the paths of the characters and allows a reflection on the intersection where history, feminism and issues of race and class meet.Based upon theoretical-methodological assumptions regarding the historical materialism and highlighting issues such as motherhood, friendship, family organizations, systemic violence, religion, culture and neoliberal action on certain regions in the African continent, it is possible to investigate how the protagonists interact with other feminine characters during the construction of their pathswhilst they oppose a reality of domination and exploitation that operates on them.Faced with a constantly contested patriarchal ideological field and a discourse that accentuates the feminist perspective, perceived here as the confrontation of the social structure that oppresses women, the characters offer possible paths within the given context, Therefore, our research contributes to promote and elucidate studies on novels written by women on the African continent, as well as to glimpse a literary project of novelists committed to the historical and social conscience of contemporaneity
