The present work aims to analyze the gender violence category from the study of the short stories “Aramides Florence” and “Shirley Paixão”, extracted from the book Insubmissas Lágrimas de Mulheres (2011), by the writer Conceição Evaristo. We proceeded to a qualitative analysis, starting from the analytical category that involves two complex social phenomena: gender violence and the power dynamics exercised by men over women. The theoretical basis comes from Pierre Bourdieu (2012) and Heleieth Saffioti (2015) studies. In a preliminary analysis, we observed that the violence practiced against the characters in the studied stories, wich are victms of beatings and rapes, represents the objectification of these women’s bodies and the perpetuation of female domination-exploitation, legitimized by a sexist and patriarchal discourse.
