Abstract

The article approaches the writing of women based on authorial studies. The dramaturgy written by women between 1930s and 1940s, a generation linked to commercial and professional theater prior to the professionalization of the casts founded with the support of the Chilean universities, is reviewed.


Their works published as literary pieces evidence the editorial and textual mechanisms that allow them to participate in a cultural field dominated by men. Preliminary findings show the genres and topics allowed for their writing (historical theater, melodrama, children’s theater), as well as the inclusion of authorized critic voices and reference to awards and premieres, which as strategies of the weak, allow them to come into play.
