Decolonizing the Literature Curriculum:

The Anti-Canon Female Authors from the Global South

Abstract

Female authors from the Global South were disregarded in their
literary careers. This paper highlights the work of Maria Carolina de Jesus, Hilda Hilst, and Clarice Lispector, whose production goes beyond their lifetimes. Their narratives merge into the deep conditions of the self and give
voices to those silenced in society. They ripe their influences, pain, solitu de, and write literature that does not follow models, but builds a system that brings enlightenment and new forms  to comprehend the world and oneself.
