L'idéalisme est un courant philosophique majeur, qui prit racine avec Platon et s'épanouit dans la philosophie allemande autour de Kant et Schopenhauer. Le monde dans lequel nous vivons est fait de l'ensemble de nos représentations, qui ne peuvent se constituer ailleurs que dans notre esprit même ; le reconnaître, c'est quitter une conception naïve de la réalité et atteindre une compréhension lucide de ce qu'il y a de plus fondamental dans notre expérience.

Retiring by nature, Gray did not want the elegy to be published, but his hand was forced by an unscrupulous editor who planned to publish the poem without permission. The polished elegance of the versification has ensured that the poem has retained its appeal over the centuries.

Esta Historia de las mujeres responde a la necesidad de ceder la palabra a las mujeres. Alejadas, desde la Antigüedad, del escenario donde se enfrentan a los dueños del destino, reconstruir su historia significa describir su lento acceso a los medios de expresión y su conversión en persona que asume un papel protagonista.

No se buscan conclusiones tajantes sino que las mujeres encuentren, al fin, su espacio propio.
