Mujeres, vestido y justicia. El caso de un “dress code” con pena de cárcel (1724). (Spanish)

Women, dress and justice. The case of a “dress code” with a prison sentence (1724). (English)

Through a specific event, the imprisonment of a pregnant mother and two of her daughters, one of them a minor, we analyze the relationship of justice with women in Castile in 1724. The source is not a story but a legal claim. A statement of defence of some women injured by the actions of the mayor who put them in prison. Treated as criminals for not complying with a Pragmatic about suits, or for making a more "sustainable" interpretation of it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A través de un suceso concreto, la puesta en prisión de una madre embarazada y de dos de sus hijas, una de ellas menor, analizamos la actuación de la justicia con ellas en 1724. La fuente no es un relato sino una alegación jurídica. Un escrito de defensa de unas mujeres agraviadas por el proceder del alcalde que les puso en prisión. Tratadas como delincuentes por no cumplir con una Pragmática sobre trajes o por hacer de esta norma una interpretación más “sostenible”. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
