The first refers to a search of small objects presided by the moon. Taking this search as a motif, the freedom which the poet confers to the nocturnal light ¿mythical and magical symbol of femaleness- and, therefore, to that which symbolises the heavenly body, is revealed. The second moment revolves around the reflection of Marçal on the ¿female authority¿, a concept which this author, inspired by the philosophical community of Diotima, distinguishes from power. Throughout history, Maria-Mercè Marçal remarked, many women have gained strength from the free atribution of authority to other women, to their texts, to their experiences.11 p.application/pdfspacc-by-nc-nd (c) Rius Gatell, 2004http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/esFeminismeFeminismMarçal, Maria Mercè, 1952-1998info:eu-repo/semantics/article526704info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
