The different forms of oppression of women and the agents and institutions that are involved in it, have been studied by different perspectives over the last decades. This, for Latin American women, has made it possible not only to understand the sexist and patriarchal context in which we live, but also to contribute to the creation of new demands and proposals to combat it. However, within the field of gender studies there is still a wide gap in academic production that criticizes compulsory heterosexuality and understands it as an institution that oppresses women. This analysis is necessary since it’s deeply rooted in the conception of a society differentiated by gender and, at the same time, it empowers and cooperates with different other institutions for the submission and oppression of women. In this regard, the present research work seeks to combat this academic gap with the objective of analyzing how is it that the institution of compulsory heterosexuality transmits and reproduces the oppression of women within four contemporary novels. This, within a framework of sociological analysis, based on theoretical and methodological proposals belonging to the sociology of literature, which allow us to investigate within these cultural productions and understand them as a representation and extension of reality. For this reason, novels written by Peruvian women were chosen, whom provide, through their representation of reality, a window for the analysis of compulsory heterosexuality, and a source to comprehend the role of this institution within the trajectory of peruvian women.
