The society modernizes itself but the habitus reproduces itself. Public confine of social, of political and of cultural production transform themselves; however the conceptions about what it means to be woman have reproduced themselves, and have legitimized the domestic space, such as a place where they observe their reproductive taks. In the writing of contemporary mexican narratives, like Angeles Mastreta and Silvana Molina, find the proposal of the new forms of identity that transgresses the traditional habitus of femininity, and its building of a new role with caracteristics of autonomy and of reapropiation of the feminine body and the sexuality.
