Abstract
In 1908, Carlos Octavio Bunge published ‘La perfidia fe-menina’, a story included in his book of travel through stretch. In the social club – one of the most typical scenarios of the sociability of entre-centuries oligarchy – three men converge around a table. The privileged topic: women. Bunge takes up the causeries as a literary species and tells stories about cruel females and collapsed marriages. The three academics and professors embody the scientific-literary device and use it to ‘pathologise’ ‘diverted’ or dissident female behaviour. The purpose of this work, then, is to analyse women’s representatives in the causeries deployed in this Bunge story. The hypothesis on which the report is based indicates that there is a misconception that the stories are ribbed, consisting of bringing together a number of negative senses around the figure of women.
