In this brief essay, Gloria G. Duran examines how the phenomenon of dandyism was established in direct opposition to the prevailing dichotomy of man-woman, and how it became a ¿metaphysical revolt¿, to borrow from Albert Camus, founded on an ongoing rejection of all values, rules and established orders. In addition to examining the original treatises on dandyism, Duran takes up the case of some eminent women in the art world who consciously adopted the stance of the nineteenth-century dandy. In a process of constant self-reinvention, these women were seeking a place of their own to live and to die.
