The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Varia" by Agnes Repplier is a collection of essays written in the late 19th century. The essays explore themes related to society, gender roles, literature, and the nuances of human behavior, often with a focus on the conditions of women. Repplier’s insightful commentary and wit seek to examine societal norms and question the perceptions of femininity throughout history. At the start of "Varia," the author presents an essay titled "The Eternal Feminine," where she critiques the notion of the "new woman" in contemporary society. She argues that the concept is a misrepresentation, pointing out that the essential characteristics of femininity have been present throughout history, from biblical figures to prominent historical women. Repplier weaves historical anecdotes with sharp observations, highlighting the continuity of women's roles in politics and society while challenging the modern feminist discourse that seems to disregard their historical contributions. The opening sets the tone for a collection rich in analysis and reflection on the evolution of gender perceptions.
