Theatre plays by women, have been scarcely regarded in the oficial history of Peruvian literature. Nevertheless it is known that from the end of the XIXth century plays by women playwrights have been highly significant in every contemporary generation. This essay analyses two works by two comteporary women playwright: Mariana de Althaus and Celeste Viale Yerovi, creators that break the silence with a kind of writing that shows a full compromise with their female identities and the historical context, a time characterised by the events unleashed by the armed conflict that started in the eighties of the tweintieth century. The study analyses "compares a play from each woman playwright". This is not only undertaken from an aesthetic perspective, but also from an anthropological, social and cultural one. This is done with the aim of showing the fragmented reality, and the duel these women had to fight against these dictatorships, the implicit censorship and the stunning nakedness upon the stage.
