Summary:

Although it is quite possible that many will consider this book irreverent or disrespectful of ideas or institutions,the authoris certain that they will also perceive it as a defender of women and their unquestionable transcendence throughout history. The main ideasthe authornow shares publicly, are onesthe authorhas considered for many years: the classification of the 'Eves', the masochistic character of women, the concept of giraffe women, etc. Other ideas appeared afterwards, some at the last moment, asthe authorenjoyed the company of friends, who frequently and generously lend their time to discuss with me their own opinions..the authorbelieves that there is a universal feminine principle just as there is a masculine one, the difference remains in the fact that, from the very beginning of creation, everything about man has already been said and nothing continues to be undisclosed, whereas woman, is an untold story yet to be discovered.
