Strother (Spanish, California State U.) analyzes the relationship between actual family life and the reflections portrayed on the Spanish stage, focusing on women's roles. She discusses such topics as consensual versus arranged marriages, alternatives to wedlock, child-rearing practices, and the importance of mothers in the family, in the context of works by playwrights such as Calderon de la Barca, Ana Caro, and Lope de Vega, among others.
