This article discusses the foundation and results of an educational-therapeutic intervention carried out on a group of 20 women in situations of violence. The objective was to contribute to emotional well-being by reading selected literary works that deal with topics related to the situation of the participants. The library therapy approach is examined, which posits that reading literary works has healing properties. The main results indicate that the intervention encouraged greater interest in continuing to read individually and collectively in spaces such as the one experienced. Participants showed willingness to interpret and relate literary texts to their life experiences.
