 Making use of the distinction between feminine search, according to the patriarchal tradition, anti-feminine search, with an inversion of sexual roles, and feminist search, non patriarchal, the novel Senhora, by José de Alencar, is studied under the focus of the construction of identities, characterizing the search performed by the character Aurélia as feminine, according to the patriarchal narrative, instead of a feminist one, as it would be inferred from her arguing and non-submissive profile, which gives to her search an anti-feminine appearance, in a supposed exchange of roles that, in fact, occurs only outside of the character, once the contestation does not highlight the gender relations.
