| Summary: | <p>The presence of the female gender as a threatening element is a feature common to both stories to be studied: <em>La mujer alta</em> (1881) and <em>La mujer sin cara</em> (1923). The two stories were written by two different writers belonging to two different eras, each of which has its own peculiarities. The first belongs to the realistic school whereas the second is marked by the beginning of the twentieth century and the advent of modernism.
