SUAREZ, Mariana Libertad. To instruct is not to educate: feminist debates inserted in the literature of Carmen Lyra and Consuelo Eufrosina Villarán. Estud. filol. [online]. 2018, n.62, pp.359-377. ISSN 0071-1713.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0071-17132018000200359.

In this article I will discuss two narrative texts: the short story “Al margen del libro de Job” (1918), by the Costa Rican writer Carmen Lyra, and the novel Neurosis (1916), by the Peruvian writer Consuelo Eufrosina Villarán. Is intended to compare these two books to understand the process of subversion of these gender roles and the position of the authors about the discussions on the identity, marriage and motherhood carrying out Latin American feminism in the first decades of the twentieth century.

Palabras clave : Narrative; protofeminism; Female Identity; Consuelo Eufrosina Villarán; Carmen Lyra.
