La sociedad familiar asturiana y la condición jurídica de la mujer: Asturian family society and a woman’s legal status

Abstract

Asturian family society is studied as an instrument for protecting women in some of the legal conditions they could have found themselves in during the Old Regime (Late Middle Ages and the Modern Age), specifically domestic women (married women, daughters, and female servants) and those left out of the family sphere needing legal protections, such as widows.
