Summary/Abstract: Marie Ndiaye is one of the important faces of the contemporary literature having been appreciated by the public and by the critics in the same time. Her last novel Trois femmes puissantes (Three strong women) has received the Goncourt award in 2009 and sold over more than 46.000 copies. This triptic that narrates pieces of 3 women from Senegal caught our attention because, besides the fact that it brings a new view over the feminism it gives us the opportunity to meditate over the concept of feminine writing. In this article we are aiming to analyse the way in which the woman's image is built in the aforementioned novel. For this we will first analyse the novel's structure then we will try to figure out if this is a ralist novel or a fiction.
