The present paper is divided into three parts preceded by an introduction which shows the writer and the psychoanalyst working together in the person of Sigmund Freud. At his lectures, in his letters and at his practice, we encounter the researcher, the theorist and the clinician. In view of his lexical choices, his style stands out pivoting on the concept of symptom as the fundamental idea.

Psychoanalysis asks itself about what a woman wants from its very beginning. Complex question because "the feminine" is installed as an impediment, in front of any coherence expectation or any theory integration. That is the reason by which this research is an attempt to elucidate some questions without any responses yet and to ask ourselves about the sense of some certainties or ideologies, which are still transmitted from one generation to the subsequent.
I consider important to point out that I do not try to get solve neither these questions nor to close the feminine subjectivity subject. I try to make deeper feminine sexuality research, although the risks of increasing these subject's complexity.
