It explores the presence of Portuguese, Spanish, and indigenous women in the process of Iberian overseas expansion between 1415 and 1815, addressing the emigration of women, mixed marriages, religious and missionary life, prostitution, and the contrasting images of women in the mentality of the time, between Marian veneration and the misogyny that gives the original work its title. A pioneering study on the history of women in the context of Iberian expansion, a topic that had been little explored by the historiography of the time. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
