This paper focuses on the emergence of a women's psychoanalysts generation, in the 1920's, whose authorship was recognized and that founded a place in the history of the psychoanalytic movement. Stating from a brief contrast with the women's psychoanalysts generation from the 1910's, this paper questions: what made possible to the analysts from the 1920's to occupy a new position? In this sense, we highlight two processes: the advance of the feminists fights, incarnated in the suffragist movement, and the opening of a time of controversy, in the psychoanalytic movement, that do not, necessarily, implies ruptures. From the Berlin's Congress, in 1922, three themes dominate these debates: the formalization of the clinical practice, the analysis of children and the female sexuality. Our hypothesis is that the femininity problem pass through these three themes as effect of a mark established by the generation of 1910, which the generation from 1920 activate, retrospectively.
