La clausura femenina del hospital de las Cinco Llagas de Sevilla en el Antiguo Régimen

摘要

The Hospital of the Five Wounds of the city of Seville was found to attend the poor patients and because of the separation of sexes was created a women’s infirmary to take care to those women. The “mothers” and “daughters” worked in the called women’s enclosure of the Hospital of the Five Wounds during more than three centuries. In this manner, this article studies about the treatment that was given to the feminine infirmaries of this hospital as if they were monasteries, completely separated from the rest of the hospital and with access restricted to the religious and laymen.
