This feminine representation of spring offers the opportunity to mention some female figures in the work of Jules Verne. He writes adventure novels set in sometimes dangerous countries. This explains why there are fewer female than male characters. There are even great novels without female characters, such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Mysterious Island or Robur the Conqueror. In this sense, the work reflects its time, in which women were not given an important place.
"But my novels have beautiful female characters: the sensual Aouda (Around the World in 80 Days), the charming Lé-ou (The Sorrows of a Chinese Man in China), the dreamy Helena Campbell (The Green Ray), the brave Dolly Branican (Mistress Branican), the seductive Stilla (The Carpathian Castle) or the disturbing Sangarre (Michel Strogoff). Some girls also find love at the end of the novel: Mary Grant (Captain Grant's Children), Nadia Fedor (Michel Strogoff) or Nell (Child of the Cave).
But it is true that passionate love often takes up little space in my stories.
In 1889 I had a pleasant visit: the young American journalist Nellie Bly, who tried to surpass the achievements of Phileas Fogg in my book Around the World in Eighty Days (1872), came to Amiens on November 22, 1889 to greet me."

This female depiction of spring offers an opportunity to name some of the female figures in Jules Verne's work. He writes adventure novels that take place in sometimes dangerous countries. This accounts for the fact that there are fewer female than male characters. There are even great novels without female characters, like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Mysterious Island or Robur the Conqueror. In this sense, the work reflects his time, in which women were not given an important place.

But it's true that passionate love often takes up little space in my stories.
