# Beyond Good and Evil prints public aphorisms that treat women as a type unfit for equal friendship and truth

Date: 1886

## The fact

The same 1886 BGE prints aphorisms that reduce women to a type — not yet capable of friendship, a danger to truth.

It is one event.

## Context

Do not rebate with a sister’s later nationalism. He wrote these sentences. Split his anti-antisemitic letters as a different minority path.

[Friedrich Nietzsche](/people/friedrich-nietzsche)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row.

## Evidence and sources

Gutenberg BGE and Stanford independently include the woman-aphorisms as his published text.

Official or archival record: Beyond Good and Evil — public-domain English (https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/4363; Project Gutenberg).

## Significance

Printed type-contempt for women is a minority-rights harm in a canonical philosophy book.

Aphorisms are not Lou Salomé’s later memoirs.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1886 public woman-aphorisms. Not established: that they uniquely caused a franchise delay.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Friedrich Nietzsche.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date, signatory, or non-occurrence; a demonstrated forgery; or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of other causes.

Contribution type is direct. They are not a public rating.
