Nahua Women
The following Chapter will discuss women's lives in the Nahua world, as explained in the Digital Florentine Codex. We will examine the roles/skills that women obtained (e.g., motherhood, healers, weavers, and housewives). The Codex also highlights that aside from the roles/skills that women took on, they also put much importance on aesthetics and character traits of how women were portrayed and expected to be. Lastly, this Chapter will highlight why mothers were critical to the Nahua culture and the effort put into motherhood. Lastly, within this Chapter, you will find the implementation of the Spanish language (e.g., the topics and images are described in Spanish) and terms as the Florentine Codex provides. The Florentine Codex provides us with images and translations for those images in English, Spanish, and most importantly, the Nahuatl language.
