Olivier Ouvry : the enigma of the feminine for the woman

Through clinical examples, the author approaches the issue of the Feminine in women. The question of “ what is “the” woman ? ”, a classic with men, turns out to be shared by member both sexes, especially by women who are find themselves in a masculine subjective sexual position.
A parallel between the four positions defined by the crossing of the two sexual subjective positions with the two anatomical sexes, and the four discourses defined by J. Lacan is attempted at the end of the article to show how nothing can be said about the position of the woman.
