This paper explores how female authors use language to construct their protagonists' inner lives and assert their narrative authority. Analysing a corpus of twelve anglophone novels published between 2010 and 2023, and drawing on Mills, Jeffries, and Fludernik's model of narrative experientiality, the study examines point of view, free indirect discourse (FID), transitivity, and lexical choice. The findings show that female writers favour first-person retrospective narration and elevated use of FID as deliberate tools for giving their protagonists voice, agency, and interiority. Far from being neutral formal choices, these stylistic decisions push back against a literary tradition that has long marginalised women's consciousness. The paper argues that close attention to literary form is essential to understanding how fiction negotiates and resists gender ideology.
