Vozes femininas em Balada De Amor Ao Vento de Paulina Chiziane

Abstract. We propose to analyse the voices of the female characters in Balada de Amor ao Vento, a novel by the Mozambican writer Pauline Chiziane. She takes a critical look at traditional Mozambican society in the grip of profound changes resulting from the influence of modernity. Through the voices of submissive and rebellious female characters, Pauline Chiziane questions the patriarchy anchored and camped in an authentic and harmonious purely Mozambican environment where waterways and greenery coexist. This romantic environment contrasts with the alienation of women. Palavras-chave: Vozes femininas, Patriarcado, Tradição, Modernidade, Casamento.
