Abstract
Women offer a different perspective. Their voices were slow to be heard. With the fall of the dictatorship, they began to be more audible. Marie Chauvet, a great and little-known figure, has been rehabilitated. She paved the way for the modern Haitian novel. They were also the first to write in the diaspora in a language other than French and Creole. And two young female authors have taken up the novel in Creole. This represents an enormous step forward in the evolution of literary writing in this language. The themes revolve around the basis of their oppression: gender, race and social class. The new generation has seized on these themes in both poetry and novels.
