Literature is a refletion of society and continues to serve as a powerful voice in order to denounce diverse social problems. The journalistic articles written by Elvira Sastre, a contemporary Spanish writer, have been chosen in order to better analyse and understand the current society, with old problems as the precariousness in many fields and emerging issues such as the importance of working collectively in the figth for social rigths or the impact of the COVID pandemic in our lifes. The study allows to better understand current literature, contemporary society and the relationship between the two aspects, not only in Spanish society but in a global context marked by the crisis.
