From a historical retreat, this work gives visibility to discourses that imply processes of subjectivation / objectivation of women. It is based on the background of the relationship between subject, truth and power, to verify regulatory procedures that have produced, in the mythical and fairylike order, discourses of truth about the female being. It is assumed that, much more than narratives that speak about woman, they depict standardizations about her body, her soul, her thoughts, her behaviors. Thus, myths and fairy tales are examined here as a profusion of discourses that place modeling practices and guide, under regimes of governmentality, to ways of being and acting.
