Abstract
In narrative written by women in Mexico, childhood is referred to from a
raw and non-idyllic perspective. Mostly represented by girls, childhood alludes
to stark, violent worlds, mired in abandonment, despondency, and loneliness. In
this context, Brenda Navarro’s novel Casas
Vacías adds to this chorus of female voices who see in childhood a
barren and baffling place that emotionally hurts little ones. This work
analyzes this novel from a gender perspective, with the aim of enriching the
landscape of literature written by women.
