Résumé
Virginia Woolf builds in her novels an interesting dialogue regarding the figure of the lesbian. These characters serve to illustrate Monique Wittig’s or Judith Butler’s ideas with reference to the formation of the lesbian as a political subject that fights to overthrow the heterosexual and patriarchal regime besides vindicating their presence both in society and in literature. Lesbianism also manifests not only the existence of a sexuality beyond the heteronormative one, but the transgression of gender barriers transforming this concept into a fluid category and the possibility of establishing oneself as a subject beyond the man-woman binary.
