ResumoLiterature is a space for affirming gender hierarchies, pedagogically determining who is who in the power struggle.Male and white authors predominate not only in the Brazilian publishing market, but worldwide, for centuries.Literature is a space of power, where places of speech are monopolized by white, heterosexual, urban and middle-class men (DALCASTAGNÈ, 2012), although women are the majority of the reading public in Brazil (PNAD, 2009; IBOPE, 2015).Thus, if the practice of knowledge will always be a relational, political, ethical and interested power (FOUCAULT, 1999), this systematic literature review aims to understand the representation of women disseminated socially through literature, and, especially, to investigate this image of the woman built in literary works made by male authors.This investigation uses articles, selected from indexed journals and not indexed in national databases.Brazilian male-authored literature, as well as other cultural instruments, is trapped within the solid walls of universal patriarchal thought, in a territory marked by the exclusion of women's capabilities and the naturalization of stereotypes: women conceived as: docile, sensitive, delicate, owner of home, mother, embroideries, which abound the borders and footnotes.Hence the mismatch between what women have been achieving in Brazilian society and their literary representation.In a contrary direction, the works of female authorship, in smaller numbers, come to draw a political becoming, deviating from the desubjectivation processes typical of the patriarchal worldview.
