El campo cultural venezolano de los a?os 50: Un espacio abierto a la escrituraKeywords: cultural field, feminine writing, latin american modernity. Abstract: this article emerges from the intention of discussing the view that considers the decade of the 1950s in venezuela as little fruitful in terms of literary production. with this discrepancy as a starting point, this work attempts to recover the outstanding presence of women writers during such period of time in the venezuelan cultural field. and, in this sense, to highlight the important role that women achieved, for those times, as well as the way in which they assumed their own discourse referring to their role in modernity. in the context of the cultural agenda of the 1950s, it is outstanding that feminine writing acquired its space and argued against the traditional way in which women had been represented, making her a constant image in literature, a subject to be redefined in fiction from the incorporation of new subjectivities and interests that this view proposed.
