Summary/Abstract: For several years, a large number of women writers from various backgrounds have shown in their texts a certain linguistic autonomy, imminent proof of an attempt to overcome the limits or barriers that have been imposed to them. They therefore sought to detach themselves from the shackles or anxieties that engulfed them in a kind of silence in which they struggled to free themselves. From there, emerges an unpackaged writing, along with an important thematic variety which is noticed over time. It is in this context that certain novelists, such as Calixthe Beyala and Nina Bourraoui, through their respective creative writings namely Femme nue, femme noire et Tous les hommes désirent naturellement savoir, tackle a relaxed writing, at the center of where, issues such as the liberation of the female voice, alienation, the quest for identity, the recognition of the female gender, bodily freedom, homosexuality, hold attention from a literary point of view, cultural and social.
