This study analyses the legal condition of women in Catalonia,
Spain, in the early modern ages, particularly during the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, by way of the study of
primary legal sources. The legal discourse was conceived as being
different for men and women: women were treated as a specific
social category, were judicially discriminated against and were
given inferior legal personality. Following the moral discourse of
the time, jurists classified women as honest and dishonest, and
tried to establish a physical and legal barrier to divide the good
from the bad. As a result, women were before the law, pawns for
male decisions. However, women did not easily comply with the
submissive role attributed to them and, as civil lawsuits show,
often they used the law that discriminated them in their own
benefit.
