Summary:"The short title, Così fan tutte, literally means 'So do they all', using the feminine plural (tutte) to indicate women. It is usually translated into English as 'Women are like that'... Mozart and Da Ponte use the theme of 'fiancée swapping', which dates back to the 13th century; notable earlier versions are found in Boccaccio's Decameron and Shakespeare's play Cymbeline. Elements from Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew are also present."--Wikipedia.
