T: This article attempts to contribute to the study of the relationship between literature and human rights by focusing the analysis on the representation of femicide – universal issue that persists in today's Latin American and global society – in the latest Spanish-American narrative. In particular, I intend to investigate the relationship between violence and resistance, reality and fiction, literature and human rights, based on the analysis of Chicas muertas (2015), a recent novel by the Argentinian writer Selva Almada (1973), representative of a young generation of Latin American voices that are bearing witness to a verbal, psychological and physical violence, that is extreme and new in its crudeness.
