Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article analyzes the four main female characters in Margarita (1875), the first novel written by the Argentine writer Josefina Pelliza. Margarita, a romantic novel with a melodramatic structure, at times a bildungsroman for young female readers, can be read as an example of the transition that the literary system underwent during the 1870s, that is, from a literature with clear moralizing purposes and prescriptions about expected female behaviors in society toward a modern conception of the novel, by which the text becomes autonomous from other discursive practices.
