Resumo: The literature produced by women is increasingly winning its space in the history of literature. The number of writers, female representations and even critics and literary historians continue to grow, ensuring women ever more a solid ground in the literary world. Among the writers who already hold a renowned place in the literary canon lies Cecília Meireles. For some writers, the poetess occupies a neutral place in her poetry regarding to gender. According to this view, Cecília would favor some issues considered universal rather than topics related to the experience of being a woman. This could be explained by the fact that the writer highlights in her poems topics such as the transcendence of being, the brevity of life and in addition to that the various aspects of death, to show some examples. However, recent studies indicate that the presence of women in her writing is more evident than previously thought. The purpose of this study is to select poems in which the female presence is significant and thus seek to understand and analyze how women’s representation happens. To accomplish that, we intend to support the feminist criticism and more specifically the methodology suggested by Elaine Showalter. In addition, we also intend to observe the women figurations as social constructions. Our final goal is to contribute to the reading possibilities enrichment of Cecília Meireles’ work, offering a more analytical perspective of her poems
