In this dissertation, analyzes were carried out about the poetic masks present in the Livro de “Soror Saudade” (1923), a book of sonnets by the Portuguese poet Florbela Espanca. The nun's mask will be the main female figure portrayed in this text, in which, in a detailed reading, divergent characteristics of that image are noticed. Following tradition, the figure of the nun would be linked to the convent, to confinement and restraint. However, when analyzed in detail, the nun begins to show signs of a desire for freedom, seeking to explore corporality and sexual pleasure. In addition to approaching and deepening the female images in the book, the purpose of this dissertation aims to explore the very meaning of "gender" and "woman". For this, opportunely, the work of Judith Butler will be one of the theoretical references in this text. The researcher defends the performativity of gender, and proposes to analyze the gendering of the body as a social construction, that is, as a regulation of subjects. The definition of women as performance would, therefore, be understood in the use of poetic masks present in Florbela's work, in which female figures served as attempts to adapt to the current model and imaginary in patriarchal society.
