Iron Woman: the documentary and the form of an archetype in the narrative of Brazilian women

This article sets out to formalize the archetype of the "Iron Woman" through an analysis of the profile of the character Donana, the protagonist of Catarina Doolan, film A Parteira (2019), using the Chanana flower as a symbolic element.To do this, we propose a dialog with authors such as Edgar Morin and Hugo Munsterberg to deal with subjectivities in the cinematographic experience, using the metaphor to gather data on the creative process that ends in the characteristics of the Brazilian heroine.It is also necessary to delve deeper to reveal the heroine's journey and her myth; what her tools are and how she has been represented in previous narratives.
