    EPIGRAPH: Today the combat takes a different shape; instead of wishing to put man in prson, woman endeavours to escape from one; she no longer seeks to drag him into the realms of immanence but to emerge, herself into the light of transcendence. Now the attitude of the males creates a new conflict: it is with a bad grace that the man lets her go.
