| Summary |
"The Fifteen Comforts of Matrimony: Responses From Women by Various" is a collection of poetic responses written in the early 18th century. This book presents various perspectives on the institution of marriage and the experiences of women within it, reflecting societal norms and individual sentiments of the period. The poems contained within likely explore themes such as love, infidelity, and the paradoxical nature of matrimony, providing a commentary on the roles and expectations placed upon women during this time. The content of the book consists of a series of poetic retorts addressing the advantages (or "comforts") of matrimony, as well as the multifaceted challenges women face in marital relationships. Each poem features a woman's perspective, filled with wit and poignant observations, illuminating the societal pressures to conform to marital expectations and the emotional tumult that often accompanies such commitments. The verses express a blend of humor and irony, as the contributors navigate themes of desire, loyalty, and the often unfulfilled promises of a married life, ultimately highlighting the complexity of women's lives within the context of early 18th-century marriage.
