pp. 16-28. In this paper we study Latin-American female migration towards North in three short-stories of contemporary female Mexican writers. We explain some general ideas about what migration is and the role of woman in this situation. We propose that an exploration in not well-considered aspects of female migration is made in fictional discourses. We use a newspaper sample to analyze, in an hermeneutic frame, how female migrant is represented as victim and male-dependent. We use literary fiction to point out how woman is an agent and migrates because she wants to improve her status or to escape from justice. We found, in our literary samples, different identities of female migrant: the lesbian career woman, the interchange female student, but also the young Centro American female that run away from her socioeconomic context.
