«Casadas, monjas, rameras y brujas» is the historical essay by Manuel Fernández Álvarez, published by Espasa in hardcover (352 pages, in Spanish).
The historian portrays the women of Renaissance Spain and brings them out of the oblivion to which history had relegated them. Wives and nuns parade alongside maids, slaves, conversas, Moriscas, Gypsies, single mothers, prostitutes and witches, in a journey through daily life, social margins and the roles that fifteenth- and sixteenth-century society assigned to each woman.
The book, published in 2002, bears the subtitle «La olvidada historia de la mujer española en el Renacimiento» and belongs to the Espasa Fórum collection.
For readers interested in the social history of Spain and the role of women during the Renaissance.
