ABSTRACT
Stressing the impossibility of conceiving a neutral ego in human experience leads us to establish the role of the other, of parents, of adults surrounding the child being reared. Before the human being is born, there is a process of gender assignment through the fantasies and expectations of femininity– masculinity, when parents imagine their baby as the son who will lead the family business or the woman who will accompany them in their old age. In the girl's evolutionary development, a privileged situation takes place in the constitution of a feminine ego from the beginning of intersubjective recognition since the attachment figure is her peer. Personally, one may think that the girl's primary femininity is structured around the maternal function, the wish to take care, to deploy role behaviours whose narcissistic and attachment cathexis focuses on the rehearsal and the anticipation of maternal activities.
