Montaigne e a natureza humana no feminino

taking as a starting point some passages of montaigne's essays and the chapter "on some verses of virgil", we consider the woman's portrait composed by the author. in contradicion with the majority of his contemporary authors - such as bodin and charron who, in accordance with aristotle, consider women's nature as inferior to that of men, since women are meant to obey while men are meant to rule -, montaigne presents us another picture. influenced by, we believe, agrippa's text on women, he proposes an equality between the genders unballanced, perturbed and annihilated by both tradition and customs.
