| Summary | "La perfecta casada" by Luis de León is a treatise on the virtues and responsibilities of married women written in the late 16th century. This work largely focuses on the traits that define an ideal wife and mother, emphasizing the moral and practical obligations associated with the marital role. The intention of the author is to provide guidance and a moral compass for women embarking on the journey of marriage, detailing the significance of their responsibilities in the home. The opening of the book sets a clear framework for discussing the expectations placed upon women within the institution of marriage. It begins by acknowledging the complexities and challenges faced by married women, contrasting societal beliefs that marriage is merely an escape from servitude. The author articulates the spiritual and moral duties required to maintain a harmonious household and emphasizes the need for women to be devoted and diligent in their roles. By invoking scriptural references and practical examples, Luis de León paints a comprehensive portrait of a "perfect wife," delineating her character and contributions to both family and society.
