This paper aims at analysing and proposing a discussion about the expression “Lugar de mulher é onde ela quiser” (A woman’s place is wherever she wants) from a pecheutian perspective of discourse analysis and the support of the concept of phraseological units, highlighting how it works in a discoursive level. To  reach this aim, the utterance will be observed as a phraseological unit, whose main features both strutuctural as well as related to its meaning will be discussed, in order to bring it closer to the concepts of preconstructed and  sustaining effect, suggested by Pêcheux, which are discoursive mechanisms that act on the moment of the utterance’s production and reception. The discussion demonstrates how this utterance was possible based on a previous and antagonistic: “Lugar de mulher é na cozinha” (Women belong in the kitchen), which reverberates other phraseological units in Portuguese. In the last section, the results of the analysis about approximations between the phraseological units and the discoursive field will be done.
