Summary/Abstract: Who can speak better than a woman about the body, desires or fantasies of women? By imposing a further reading of the body, freed from taboos and social and religious inhibitions, North African women writers have laid the beacons of a new anti-conformist and traditional way of writing where the woman is no longer a wife, mother, grandmother, sister or lover, but the “masculinized” woman, the woman who disguises herself as a man, who grabs her rights that have always made her the powerful, hegemonic, phallocentric superior being that deconstructs the myth, one of the core components of male identity.
