About this book
In the early 19th century, Spain grappled with the societal norms surrounding marriage and gender roles, as reflected in Leandro Fernández de Moratín's play, "El sí de las niñas." This comedic work critiques the institution of arranged marriages, showcasing the tension between youthful innocence and the weight of adult expectations. Central to the narrative are the characters of Don Diego and the young, spirited Doña Francisca, whose fates hinge on the decisions of their elders. With sharp wit and keen observation, Moratín invites students, civic activists, and historians to examine the implications of consent and autonomy within a patriarchal society. Explore the intricate dance of desire and duty in this timeless exploration of personal freedom.
