An Educated Woman

A brilliant philosopher’s final gift: wisdom, love, and life’s deepest truths for her daughter

At forty-three, Eva has achieved everything she set out to do: she is a respected philosophy professor and a devoted mother to her young daughter. But her world is upended when she is diagnosed with terminal cancer, leaving her only a few months to live. Determined to leave behind a meaningful legacy for her daughter, Lucía, Eva devotes herself to writing one final book—a guide to help her navigate life’s complexities.

Through reflections on themes like sincerity, guilt, seduction, punishment, and loneliness, Eva’s final work becomes both a philosophical treatise and a deeply personal gift.

Eva, a brilliant philosopher, has achieved her dreams: academic success and motherhood. But a terminal cancer diagnosis forces her to channel her remaining time into crafting the ultimate legacy for her young daughter—a book of philosophical wisdom and personal reflections.
