Summary/Abstract: For the past two centuries, “the feminine soul” has been living “a faustic experience”, having two separate souls in one soul, between duties and historical visibility. Addicted to this new spleen of the century, “the mediatic spleen”, the horizon of understanding was highly reduced. On the other hand, all women will be carrying these pairs of dichotomies: slave / master, leader / servant, convict / judge. The violation of conventional laws and rules might reinforce the cultural background, becoming in time a form of authorized transgression. Only by living ahead of their time, women might surpass the reification of their historical destiny.
