The study focuses the literary gender Chick Lit in comic strips series Women on the Edge by the Argentinean cartoonist Maitena Inés Burundarena. Nowadays, especially since the 90s, a lot of literary writings, considered by the media as literature of the modern women`s self-help, have been published. Since the appearance to the acme of the Feminist Movement in the decade of the seventies we can see the boom of publications on the feminine discourse. Discussing the strips of Maitena`s work it gives us the possibility to carry out a critical reflection on that feminine imaginary which becomes more and more popular. From the theoretical presumptions of the opinion discourse and starting from a reading approach, as social practice, I try to articulate, as the readings of this gender happen, presented by Maitena`s comic strips. The reading and interpretation of the strips is also done in a discourse relationship with the theories on gender /sex and the feminist linguistics. The results show us several aspects of the female universe in conflict, which we can be seen in Maitena`s strips, sometimes they are shown as parameters of the existentialist theories, sometimes as constructionists. It is interesting to notice that Maitena points out such femininities, mainly, based on resources of indirect approaches that awaken the mock, the dissimulation and irony in her opinion discourse through the humors in Women on the Edge.
