This is an excerpt from the book "The perfect Woman" by Robert Shecklet
Explanation:
With this sentence the narrator finds a way to devalue the so-called "new femininity." He affirms that women are more modern, which could be something positive, but they have lost their vigor, they are weak, without validity. This sentence goes against the concepts of modern femininity, where women are more valued and capable of presenting soft and strong attributes, leaving women more alive, shrewd, but still delicate.
