Abstract
From 1936, «the citizen woman» took a place like subjectivity, in the Venezuelan imaginary. However, since 1948, several repressive movements, that tried to reinsert the feminine subject into the domestic space, were born. Since then, the national narrators had to use, among other strategies, their writings as motivation platform and registry of their new identity. The novel «En la cuerda floja» (1954), by Mireya Guevara, gives account of it. It is a text that allows to think over around the role of the intellectual woman and of her masculine pair in the Venezuela of the fifties.
