In adolescence, the quest to “become a woman” allows the young girl to deal with questions about her gendered and sexual body – both in fantasy and at the genital level. However, a range of symptoms may stand in the way, as in the case of Inès, a young patient aged 15, with her anorexia, which I approach as a repudiation of the feminine.

I propose to understand this choice as symptomatic, constituting the flip side of this repudiation ; a praise of the feminine through her willingness to veil the body-symptom while elevating her sense of being a woman for her Muslim religion. Toppling over into this divine quest leads Inès to elevate God to the rank of authority over her becoming a woman, in the hope of one day being able to ‘become the wife of…‘.
