Abstract

The relationship between Nietzsche and women can be analyzed from different perspectives: the woman, as a metaphor in Nietzsche's work; Nietzsche's relationships with the women of his time, or the question of what this philosopher thought about what a woman should or should be: that is the perspective presented in this text. This paper takes into account in a particular way, the seventh part of Beyond Good and Evil, as well as The Greek Woman, The birth of tragedy and Ecce homo. From that point of view, what Nietzsche thought of the woman is analyzed, and it is concluded that there is a strong misogyny in this thinker. The text closes trying to answer some questions, from which it is feasible to read Nietzsche as a woman today.
