The study presented here intends to focus on the role played by the intellectual work of Carmen Martín Gaite in the path of women's self-consciousness, just returned to democracy in Spain. Martín Gaite, through her activity as novelist, essayist and translator of a diverse mosaic of literary works, builds a synergistic discourse of intertextuality that, along with the constructive power of memory in the creation of reality, gives us an alternative way, 'other', right of women's writing. The writing becomes a place, an 'elsewhere', physicaland symbolic at the same time, of female identity building, away from the traditional role imposed by men in the society and in the logos.
