Metge offers a new vision of women and their entity, which shifts the medieval as a result of contempt and, at the same time, is his prototypes of hatred. To this end, he portrays the most disgusting ad degrades version, which comes from the Corbaccio, followed by an exquisite gallery of women, inspired by classics. In fact, it is a moral reform, which pictured with the rejection of the misogyny and of the petrarquesque ethics towards love, which was the deformation of the agustinian and confirmed the traditional morality.

The present investigation pretends to do visible the importance of the monastery feminine, at the ken of the life and the culture of the women of the 16th century. This period met how the Modern Age has not enjoyed for part of the Catalan literary canon a positive consideration, since the term Decadence has comported a pejorative vision of the praxiliterary realized by the women. At this sense, the delights of the women that inhabited these cloisters evidence us that it is necessary to delete commonplaces of the life monastery feminine that are very moved away of the reality. Among the most excelled delights of these excels the reading and the sex that manifested an optics of the different reality of what pretended to impose the ecclesiastical patriarchy.
