Resumo
In the Age of Reason, the treatises about the women�s good education began to be popular. However, even if of the Illustrated authors conferred importance on the females, they continued considering home life as the ideal for women, and exhorted them to stay out of the extra-domestic work world. Nevertheless, poverty forced to women to work outside when the economic resources were insufficient. This is the case of hundreds of women in Asturias, where, in the middle of the 18th century, the reality was completely different from the ideal. This paper will allow us to discover a unknown subject: the professional world of the Asturian women of Enlightenment.
