Abstract

Although Latin American Countries are young, they have wealthy and valuable literature. Through investigation of the history of literature in Latin
American Countries, we have seen a long list of male writers. The list of
women writers, come in this area with great effort and they have contributed as much as men. Although the men have made great efforts to monopolise this area for their own and thus forced the women to silence, yet, the women
represent their abilities very well. What is important in this research, is a brief
investigation of women represented in Latin American Literature related to pre- colonization of this continent by Spanish conquerors. This representation has confirmed women's abilities. Therefore, some of the famous women chosen in different periods have been active in poem, prose, story and novel and have left valuable works. With a short explanation, periods of social situation of the women discussed, have been described as parallel to men's efforts. This research has no Feminist direction, and has tried to introduce the women who are famous in periods literature because of their great contribution.:
