Abstract

Even face the cultural changes and achievement of rights for women, the common sense dictates that a woman is only complete when she becomes a mother. From such premise, this research addresses the impasses between motherhood and femininity, based on the psychoanalytic theories of Freud and Lacan, and works with the possibility the motherhood represents a phallic position. Thus, it would not be able to deal with femininity. What are the meetings and disagreements in such relation between being a mother and being a woman? Besides psychoanalysis, we mention the poetry of Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, known for its female lyrical selves.
