"Varia" by Agnes Repplier is a collection of essays that provides an exploration of society, gender roles, literature, and the intricacies of human behavior, particularly concerning women in the late 1800s. Through witty and insightful commentary, the book examines societal norms and questions perceptions of femininity. An initial essay, "The Eternal Feminine," critiques the concept of the "new woman," arguing that true feminine characteristics have existed throughout history. The author uses historical stories alongside sharp observations, highlighting the continuous roles of women in politics and society, while also challenging modern feminist ideas that seemingly ignore historical context, setting the stage for a collection full of rich analysis on the development of gender perceptions.
