This piece of research aims at investigating the novels Balada de Amor ao Vento (2003) and O Alegre canto da Perdiz (2008), by Mozambican writer Paulina Chiziane, following the cultural cartography of Mozambique sketched by the author. It intends to question the cultural elements related to tradition as well as verify the cultural clashes triggered by colonialism. By reflecting about the role played by myths and the hero's mythical quest, we have identified the paths Chiziane proposes to her heroines, able to shed a new light to Feminism. In other words, we have aimed to observe in Chiziane's narratives, particularly through their heroines, how tradition and contemporaneity modeled new female identities in Mozambique
