This work reflects the attitudes towards gender relations and education during that time period, particularly focusing on the role of women in society. The book presents a proposed law that humorously argues against educating women, claiming that literacy is unnecessary and even harmful to their natural roles as wives and mothers. In the text, Maréchal lays out a series of absurd and exaggerated arguments to support the notion that women should remain ignorant, emphasizing traditional domestic duties over intellectual pursuits. He suggests that learning to read would lead women to become liberated and rebellious, and he details various historical and cultural examples to reinforce his points. The proposed law is filled with ironic observations and critiques of contemporary society's views on women's education, ultimately serving as a commentary on the absurdities of gender norms and expectations of the time.
