For centuries, along with the bible, conduct books were some of the
most widely read and infuential books available. In turn, they
reflected the moral, religious, political and economic debate of
their times. They give a clear view of the changing role of women
as conflicting religious ideologies and the rise of capitalism were
reflected in differing attitudes to the family unit and a woman's
duties within it.

between the Renaissance and Victorian times, extant copies,
particularly from the early modern periods, are rare. Many are only
to be found in a few specialist libraries worldwide.
