Approaching from the narrative to the etiology, to the core of femicide violence, is possible. It can even constitute a way of enrichment for scientific social analysis methods; literary discourse feeds —crudely, in this case—by reality. This article validates that literary art captures with aesthetic criteria of who we are and how we move as a society (Goldmann, 1964; Lukács,1989; Chuaqui Numán, 2002; Ortiz et al. 2021); therefore, its proposed is to show that their representations constitute resources ofgreat value for the sociological study of violence against women, by highlight the details of the gendered institutions in which all we are participants. The inputs were collected from ten works published in recent decades, which refer to femicide in the Latin American region; the methodological criterion was saturation. The texts were selected from a large number of literary pieces that refer to the murders of women for the mere fact of being women. It is concluded that these representations, whether theyoccur in public space or privacy, emulate the typical social interaction between people who, because they are of different sexes, do not play socially as equivalents for not being socially invested with the same value and dignity. The literary fragments effectively communicate a status quo where the superior position of all men over all women prevails: a reticle of practices, regulations, roles, beliefs, and meanings that safeguard male privileges at the expense of women's vital power.
