The purpose of this paper is to examine to what extent would it make sense to speak about transatlantic authoress considering some works of Maryse Condé, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Taiye Selasi. Transatlantic studies, which could be located between postcolonial and globalization studies, aim at reviewing processes occurring on the continents surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean (Europe, Africa and America) taking account of the multi-pronged exchanges at work as well of the gradual integration into this space of western and non-western dynamics within the framework of a connected literary history. This entails showing how some authoresses create a transatlantic literary work by putting into fiction an identity, geopolitical and cultural problem, mainly a sociocultural building of female identities, according to a transnational poetics.
