El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una lectura de dos cuentos de Rosario Castellanos, “Lección de cocina” y “Domingo”, de la colección Álbum de familia, publicada en 1971, partiendo de la hipótesis de que la autora, por un lado, desenmascara la puesta en escena de las construcciones sociales patriarcales y, por otro, teatraliza su escritura, para crear textos que, junto a la inmediatez de la representación, alcanzan también una complejidad funcional para definir el papel de la mujer intelectual en el México de los años sesenta y setenta. Se investigan las estrategias literarias implementadas, como el rigor descriptivo y el distanciamiento irónico de sus personajes que, instalados en dos escenarios distintos, la cocina y la sala de la casa, impugnan o avalan la distribución del espacio y la construcción de la identidad.
