En este artículo me interesa destacar la presencia de las escritoras en la literatura argentina del siglo XXI, porque desde sus voces ingresan temáticas y debates feministas. Esto ocurre en diversos géneros literarios, como en el caso del fantástico, donde una de las mayores exponentes es Samanta Schweblin. Analizaré la diversidad de construcciones de maternidad que Schweblin presenta en la novela Distancia de rescate y en los cuentos “Pájaros en la boca”, “Conservas” y “En la estepa”, de la antología Pájaros en la boca y otros cuentos. Las autoras de nuestro siglo visibilizan la maternidad como decisión y no como imposición, los problemas de fertilidad y los lados oscuros de la maternidad. Así, se elimina la construcción de la maternidad que responde al modelo patriarcal para dar lugar a una nueva, desde una perspectiva feminista que se acerca a la experiencia real y que se aparta de la idealización del rol materno. Por otro lado, estableceré una conexión con el uso del género fantástico en el siglo XX, específicamente con Julio Cortázar, para ver qué similitudes y diferencias podemos encontrar entre el fantástico del siglo pasado y el fantástico que emerge en el presente siglo XXI.
