The way in which Aralia López relates to women and men involved a constant weaving of interpretations and proposing utopias in order to understand that a new personal and collective subjectivity is created by narrative and poetry. Aralia, a poet and an indispensable voice of Latin American feminist literary criticism, cultivated the friendship between women and the expression of feminine difference. Her work and way of life questioned the masculine patriarchal hegemony and casted serious doubts on traditional ideas and practices harmful to freedom.

Resumen: La obra de Gloria Anzaldúa, en la actualidad, tiene una gran importancia para los estudios latinoamericanos y para la crí­tica literaria feminista. Esto se debe a la influencia de los estudios acerca de la interseccionalidad en el feminismo con las coordenadas de sexo, género, raza y clase social, y de los cambios en la crí­tica literaria interesada en estudiar la creación literaria en clave de polí­ticas de la escritura. También porque a partir de los 80 se hizo más visible la producción literaria de las mujeres y surgió un marcado interés en el estudio del sujeto del feminismo. Los anteriores hitos llevaron a las feministas a preguntarse por el sujeto del feminismo, y con él por la experiencia de este sujeto. Se encontró que la experiencia es una construcción como el género de los sujetos y que, por lo tanto, no puede adjudicarse un tipo de experiencia en razón al sexo biológico, la raza y la clase social. Este artí­culo, a partir de la obra de Gloria Anzaldúa, describe las transformaciones de la idea de experiencia en el feminismo y la aborda como una construcción e interpretación de sí­ mediante polí­ticas de la escritura.Palabras claves: Gloria Anzaldúa, experiencia, sujeto del feminismo, polí­ticas de la escritura, Crí­tica literaria feminista.Sumary: The work of Gloria Anzaldúa is currently of great importance for Latin American studies and for feminist literary criticism. This is due to the influence of intersectionality studies in feminism with the coordinates of sex, gender, race and social class, and of changes in literary criticism interested in studying literary creation in the key of writing policies. Also because from the 80's the women's literary production became more visible and there was a marked interest in the study of the subject of feminism. The previous milestones led feminists to wonder about the subject of feminism and the experience of this subject. It was found that experience is a construction as the gender of subjects and therefore can not be awarded a type of experience on the grounds of biological sex, race and social class. This article, based on the work of Gloria Anzaldúa, describes the transformations of the idea of experience in feminism and approaches it as a construction and interpretation of itself through policies of writing.Key notes: Experience, Subject of feminism, Writing policies, Gloria Anzaldúa[1] Doctora en Pedagogí­a de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

This paper is an attempt to portray the plight of Mariam that she undergoes due to her illegitimate social status. The study focuses on the critical societal attitude towards the illegitimate unfortunate women. Mariam begins her life with a “harami” status; continues her struggle for personal identity, suffer and endures as a battered woman and leave this world as a woman of consequences by digging herself out of the lower social status that society attached to her. The study analyzes Mariam’s endurance, struggles and resistance in her strenuous journey to attain legitimate ending. The researcher used feminist literary criticism to interpret the text as a research methodology and adopted close textual analysis of the text by Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns.
