This study aims to reflect upon the constitution the formation of the woman subject through the fictional language of two contemporary Canadian novels, Lives of Girls and Women (1971) and The diviners (1973) by Alice Munro and Margaret Laurence, respectively. Having been published in the early seventies, both novels include a series of questions about the search for an identity of its own, according to a new demand which is allied to critical gender studies. Therefore, it constitutes a major factor to this research, the manner in which the narrative protagonists, Del Jordan of Lives of Girls and Women (2001) and Morag Gunn of The Diviners (1993) perform this process. As a strategy, both appropriate the Bildungsroman genre questioning the discourses with which it dialogues. Starting from childhood, when there is both the immersion of Del Jordan, as of Morag Gunn in environments that favor the activity of reading, one realizes that, not coincidentally, both will take the profession of writers in the age coming. From that perspective, discussions about language studies, gender, and female development novels are established to which the approaches of Chris Weedon (1989), Teresa de Lauretis (1994), Cristina Ferreira Pinto (1990), Sylvia Molloy (2004), Coral Ann Howells (1998), among others will prove as essential ones to rethink the process by which the protagonists go through until the discovery of their subjectivities.
