This article aims to discuss the woman-guilt relation from fragments of mythical narratives from four different cultures; jewish-christian, greek, guarani and yoruba. We used as methodology a questioning exercise inspired by Foucault. The reinterpretation of some myths in this perspective showed women considered divine, insurgents and sinners in different cultures and times that figure in a complex historical plot, in which feminine perspectives were built and passed through time and space until today, wrapped in guilt. In the strong and constant movement that maintains in the present that on the basis of different problems there is always a woman, who did not take care of her children as she should, dressed provocatively, stood out too much, spoke a lot, was very curious, did not breastfeed, assumed a role that did not fit, among other things, we have echoes of other times.
