Through the tools of philosophy and gender studies, this work is carried out as an analysis of the story "La Cilindra" of Carmen Baez. For this is the hypothesis that the author through literary devices makes a critical reflection of gender prototypes, assumed to fulfill impossible ideals. This is, in the dialectical relationship that lived life and fiction have, the schemes are assumed, constructed and reproduced from the patriarchal rationality assumptions that glows vivid life and therefore in cultural products.

This article has been divided into four sections. In the first, the prototype concept is discussed in the revolution. In the second, schemes of womanhood are studied in "La Cilindra". In the third, Juan Lanas and his superior are analyzed as two ways of being male during the armed movement and finally an analysis of the elements exposed is proposed.
