This paper is an investigation on the ideological social construct of the role women play in society, as well as the feminist achievements, based on the novels The Handmaid’s Tale, by Margaret Atwood, and The Power, by Naomi Alderman. Firstly, the analysis is about the theories of ideology and the social influence of its interrelation with the law and the State. After that, the research focuses on the narrative of the selected literary works – by using methodological contributions from the Law and Literature movement – to question the role of women in contemporary society, with suggestions to reach gender equality in reality.
RESUMO:O constitucionalismo contemporâneo delineia uma nova forma de se conceber e interpretar o ordenamento jurídico, prezando pela aproximação do direito à sociedade e da sociedade ao direito de modo tendente a emancipar o indivíduo no plano fático. Consectário disso é a repercussão do propósito de humanização intrínseco na Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988 no direito civil, a ponto de o colocar sob um novo eixo. Tal relacionamento, entretanto, envolve vários aspectos que não podem ser negligenciados, como a adequação do liame entre uma concepção ordenamental do direito e o constitucionalismo. Eis o principal objetivo deste artigo: analisar os reflexos desta relação no âmbito do direito civil brasileiro, assim como a necessidade de determinadas correções de rota na busca de uma maior efetividade social do direito. Utiliza-se, para tanto, o método analítico e a técnica bibliográfica. A partir desta metodologia se indica encaminhamentos para a superação de algumas perplexidades advindas da constitucionalização do direito civil.

ABSTRACT:The contemporaneous constitutionalism outlines a new manner to conceive and interpret the legal system, considering the alignment of law with society and society with law in order to emancipate the individual in the factual level. This results in the repercussion of humanization purpose in the Constitution of Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988 in civil law, to the extent of approaching it under a new perspective. However, such relationship involves several aspects which cannot be neglected, such as adequacy of Liame as a conception of legal system and constitutionalism. This article primarily aims at: analyzing the effects of this relation pursuant to Brazilian civil law, as well as the need of certain corrections in order to search for greater social effectiveness of law. For this purpose, an analytical method and bibliography technique are used. From this methodology, alternatives are indicated to overcome some perplexities arising from constitutionalisation of civil law.
