Résumé
The production conditions of Latin Literature, an activity codified by and for the masculine élite, as well as the conscious decision of not preserving the work of the scarce number of women that had access to that sphere, due to the male-centred bias in the literary transmission of said literature, means that we can barely speak of Latin Literature written by women. Nevertheless, despite the adverse vicissitudes that throughout time these women authors and their work have endured, we have kept some of those names, as well as part of their writing, on occasion in a fragmented way. Therefore, this article presents a selection of women authors that, as of the origins of Latin Literature itself, until reaching the last woman writer of Roman Antiquity as we understand it, shows the variety of genres that the surviving women authors of this literature cultivated in verse (elegies, erotic poetry, satire, laudatio funebris) as well as in prose (judicial oratory, memoirs). In turn, this rescue will lead to delve into the mechanisms of omission of these writers and the need to operate this recovery in our days, in order to give Latin Literature an approach suitable to the 21st century.
