“Legal, safe and free”: Voluntary Abortion in Fictional Works of Current Female Latin American Narrators

Abstract

I wonder to what extent the “green tide/wave” is narrated, given the strength that feminist abortion- rights movements in Latin America have gained in recent years, in demand for legislation that ensures legal, safe and free abortion. And their claim for quality sexual education and for psycho-affective accompaniment for women with unwanted pregnancies and that are voluntarily interrupted. In this article I make a preliminary approach to the representation of the voluntary interruption of pregnancy in fictional narrative texts of female Latin American authors born after 1970.
