El invencible verano de Liliana by Cristina Rivera Garza and Punto de cruz by Jazmina Barrera create a sentimental trajectory from the loneliness of shame and fear to the anger and love of the feminist alliance. The first weaves the femicide of Liliana with other stories of gender violence to interrupt the logic of victimization through an imaginary exercise of co-writing with Liliana and others, through her archive, the testimonies from the ones who loved her, and the Latin American Feminist Activism. Differently, Punto de cruz suggests that a text is as collective as the embroidery. By knitting parallelisms between the affective responses to gender violence of the fictional characters and unseen stories of feminist resistance in Women's history, it shows the single female narrator as a product of co-writing with other women. Through different practices of disappropriation they reveal the normalized ways in which femicide violence acts upon the sociality of emotions to isolate women. But, as well, they display feminist anger as a productive affection that can change our response to pain into an ethical one: a feminist love that embraces otherness as an alternative to the patriarchal love that supports femicide violence.
