Document Summary
Pietro aretino had women narrators conclude their discussion of the best life for woman. "the nun is a traitor to her sacred vows, the wife an assassin of holy matrimony; but the whore attacks neither the convent not the husband" Nanna, a roman prostitute and her friend antonia considered the real options that women faced in the. Renaissance and decided that prostitution offered the only honest life. There were three days dedicated to instructing pippa on how to be the best prostitute possible. Nanna experienced life as a nun, a wife and a whore. When she reached sexual maturity she entered a convent which was a norm during the. She discovered that the nuns were not religious and there was lots of sexuality going on in the convent. For many upper class women the convent was a life pressed upon them by their families to try and salvage their family honour when there was no dowry or a suitable marriage.
