Abstract
In spite of loading by nature with the biggest sin in the humanity´s history and their respective associations with the wickedness, the women of the 17th Century as much as in Europe as in the Indies had in their bodies the biggest responsibility that one could have for the time: the protection of the most valuable thing for the Baroque society; the preservation of the honor. In this sense, it is evident in the literature of that moment such a concern to regulate how she should take care, and the desire to “show” before society that that honor was in the protective best case: a good woman, just as was made it, in the Santafe case, the hearer Gabriel Álvarez of Velasco.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
