Abstract

This article refers to the problem of the relations between a woman writer and the jewish tradition. It is argued that to became part of a masculin lineage the studied poet has to select matter and and motif that transforms her own circumstances in that tradition. Tamara Kamenszain selects Ruth’s carácter from the Bible to expres the sensation of been “stranger in the land of Egipt”. From the eyes of Ruth, the outsider, the foreigner, the excluded, she can find a place for her self and refound her own lineaje.
