This article starts from Emma's contribution - in comics - to a recent awareness raising process on the issue of ordinary obstetrical violence, and then uses a hermeneutic approach to show that the author in fact formulates a broader comprehensive proposal on the formation of the feminine self in the 21st century. The two stories she has dedicated respectively to the theme of episiotomy and the psychological and symbolic violence she experienced during her own experience of motherhood are first studied (1), then resituated in a creative and militant device aiming at the awareness of the most common gendered violence (2). The analysis continues on the question of the formation of the self in the relationship to the body and the feminist battle of the intimate (3).
