Without great pretensions, the book gathers in a succinct way, fifty short stories in which the author, taking as a model different female figures of universal literature, shells virtues, defects, attitudes of which these characters are the image. From the generous serenity of Eugenia Grandet, the purity of Catherine von Heilbronn or the virtue of Pamela to other less positive traits such as the cruelty of Electra, the obsession aroused by Rebecca or the almost unbearable superficiality of Madame Bovary.

"The Eternal Feminine" is not intended to be a book of thought but, rather, a work that serves as a guide and first approach to these more or less known figures of literature.

A very interesting work to use in educational environments when looking for examples and to make known the great works of all times as well as a starting point for conversations, especially with young people, on the great themes of the human being. A small vindication of the feminine figure, with its variety of nuances, in the history of universal literature and in the construction of archetypes that have arrived, almost unaltered, to our days.
