Cíntia Moscovich e Carol Bensimon: a personagem homossexual feminina na literatura brasileira contemporânea

Abstract

This article aims to present an analysis of female homosexual characters in the works Duas iguais, by Cintia Moscovich, and Todos nós adorávamos caubóis, by Carol Bensimon. It presents a brief survey of how Brazilian literature, from Baroque to Modernism, has represented the conception of love among women. The comparison of the two contemporary works with the older texts, attempts to understand how the representation of female homosexual characters is construed nowadays and how this representation was changed over the years in Brazil.
