Queer studies and recent debates on gender issues question normalizing identity formations, pointing out other possibilities of existence outside established standards and sedentary processes. The objective of the present research was to examine, from the queer perspective, the way of life of women who abandon stationary life and the socially established standards of femininity and start to live like trenches, in constant transit, from one city to another. The research was carried out in a small population municipality, located in an important transit corridor between the states of Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná, and São Paulo. Two women who were passing through the city, sheltered in an institution of assistance to itinerants participated in the research. Interviews were conducted focusing on the reasons for the rupture of these women with a previous life and the meanings of the search for an errant life. In their speeches, there were reports of a life marked by violence, lived in the domestic environment, and family relationships associated with the condition of being women. The desertion for the section meant, for them, the escape from the hardships of a life imprisoned by standards and the possibility of experiencing another way of living as a woman, although no less problematic, and aimed at the previous life. It is possible to conclude that, among the various possibilities of construction and configuration of femininities, there are those characterized by the rupture with the normative geographical and psychosocial spaces and the search for experiences of a wandering life, in movement, open to the unexpected and strangeness.
