| Abstract: | After exploring the Monte’s inception and raison d’être together with the administrative aspect and perspective, in Part One of this article, the research moves on to its more important issue: that of the actual clients of the Monte and tries to understand the how and why of its usage. The clients were mostly lower-class females, poor but not destitute, who owned some collateral they could afford to pawn to help them in a financially dire situation. The research explores the de jure and de facto roles of these females and their position within a paternalistic and patriarchal society. |
