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.
