From the moment of birth, girls were wrapped in rituals and traditions that reflected the empires values and expectations for womanhood. Unlike the rigid gender roles often portrayed in modern understandings of ancient civilizations, Aztec society allowed for a range of female experiencesespecially depending on class, family status, and religious ties. Still, certain shared elements united the lives of Aztec girls as they grew into women of the empire.</p><p>A girls life began with ceremony. At birth, a midwife would chant prayers over the infant, asking the gods to guide her in her destined role as a homemaker, mother, or possibly priestess. Symbolic objects like weaving tools were placed beside her, marking her future contributions to the household and community. Unlike boys, who were given miniature shields and arrows to represent warfare, girls were prepared for battles of a different kindthose of domestic responsibility and cultural preservation.</p><p>Education for girls was both practical and spiritual. While boys were trained for war or priesthood, girls often learned domestic skills at home from mothers and elder women. However, this did not mean their education was informal or limited. In fact, daughters of commoners and nobles alike could attend <em>telpochcalli</em> (community schools), where they were instructed in ethics, religion, and the arts of weaving and food preparation. Noble girls had access to even more advanced teachings at the <em>calmecac</em>, the elite school where they could be groomed for religious roles or political marriages.</p>...7144954Women of the Aztec Empire6161https://www.gandhi.com.mx/women-of-the-aztec-empire-9798318157370/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7142400/image.jpg?v=638830970462630000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro2025Inglés
