BARONIO, Franchesca Carolina  and  GEIGER, Luciene. The construction of being a woman in family farming: a logotherapeutic perspective. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.1, pp. 91-97. ISSN 1809-6867.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18065/RAG.2018v24n1.10.

This work investigated how "being a woman" is cinstructed in the context of family farming from a logotherapeutic perspective developed by the austrian Viktor Emil Frankl. Through a qualitative narrative review, it was sought to define the profile of "being a woman" in family farming with the descriptor "rural women" in the databases Virtual Health Library (BVS) andBiblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD). Materials published from 2011 to 2016 were used and analyzed by content analysis resulting in two categories. "Being a woman: an authorial construction or a destiny to fulfill" identifies the construction of being a woman tied to the roles of mother, wife and caregiver, resulted from a social construction. In turn, "Women farmers: work and parenting" approaches undervalued types of work related to being a mother and wife. From the referencial of Logoterapy it can be understood how they find meanings of life and the alternatives of a freedom of meaning for an authentic choice that promotes health. From this understanding, we hope to promote reflections to health professionals to envisage alternative logotherapeutic interventions to promote health and more meaningful lives.

Keywords : Rural women; Logotherapy; Meaning of Life.
