Sumario:From the perspective of feminist and gender studies, as well as with the theoretical contributions related to historiographic metafiction, we briefly comment on some contemporary English/American novels which develop a creative dialectic between the historicity of the text and the textuality of history. These novels are produced by female writers, who create a female narrative voice that register their own ‘herstory’; in doing so, they (re)construct, the contribution of women whose importance has been neglected, rejected, distorted, even erased, in the construction of traditional, patriarchal historiography. Emphasis will be given in the analysis of the novel The Passion of Artemisia (Susan Vreeland)
