"From meetings and conversation with men, love affairs arise. In
the midst of pleasures, banquets, dances, laughter, and
self-indulgence, Venus and her son Cupid reign supreme. . . . Poor
young girl, if you emerge from these encounters a captive prey! How
much better it would have been to remain at home or to have broken
a leg of the body rather than of the mind!" So wrote the
sixteenth-century Spanish humanist Juan Luis Vives in a famous work
dedicated to Henry VIII's daughter, Princess Mary, but intended for
a wider audience interested in the education of women.
Praised by Erasmus and Thomas More, Vives advocated education for
all women, regardless of social class and ability. From childhood
through adolescence to marriage and widowhood, this manual offers
practical advice as well as philosophical meditation and was
recognized soon after publication in 1524 as the most authoritative
pronouncement on the universal education of women. Arguing that
women were intellectually equal if not superior to men, Vives
stressed intellectual companionship in marriage over procreation,
and moved beyond the private sphere to show how women's progress
was essential for the good of society and state.
