Description
The eternal feminine is a psychological archetype or philosophical principle that
idealizes an immutable concept of "woman". It is one component of gender essentialism, the
belief that men and women have different core "essences" that cannot be altered by time or
environment.

The concept of the "eternal feminine" was particularly important to Goethe, who
introduces it at the end of Faust, Part 2. For Goethe, "woman" symbolized pure
contemplation, in contrast to masculine action. The feminine principle is further
articulated by Nietzsche within a continuity of life and death, based in large part on his
readings of ancient Greek literature, since in Greek culture both childbirth and the care
of the dead were managed by women. Domesticity, and the power to redeem and serve as moral
guardian, were also components of the "eternal feminine". The virtues of women were
inherently private, while those of men were public.

In the history of Christianity, and particularly in Catholic theology, the ideology of the
"eternal feminine" replaced older views of women as inherently inferior and more sinful
than men

All of the transient,
Is parable, only:
The insufficient,
Here, grows to reality:
The indescribable,
Here, is done:
Woman, eternal,
Beckons us on.
( Goethe's Faust Part II)

Featured here Photomanipulation feature
So, this feature is kind of selfish . I realized I wasn't seeing as much digital art/photomanips anywhere but here, and that was killing my photomanip muse because I had just been looking at photography. Which is also good, but I have no energy to take new photos
Anyway, I'll try to include everyone I can, but I fail with remembering.
Enjoy! <3
