Abstract

his text introduces an aproach to “Caperucita se come al lobo”, by Pilar Quintana (Colombia, 1972), and “El sueño secreto de Cenicienta”, by Ena Lucía Portela (Cuba, 1972), from the idea that both stories —seen as cultural artifacts with a clear gender awareness— function as revisionist writings of the classic tales, that empower and politicize female characters which traditionally have been deprived of their own voice or which have been characterized by their submission. While, with a parodic and satiric tone, they resignify and question certain elements-symbols related to gender identity constructions, their stereotypes, and patriarchal violence, to articulate their own revindications and critics.
