«El sí de las niñas» is the stage comedy by Leandro Fernández de Moratín, published by European Masterpieces in paperback (100 pages, in Spanish).
Moratín satirically criticises the social conventions of early 19th-century Spain: a young woman is pressured to marry an older man she does not love, while love, family expectations and social status clash. The play defends freedom of choice and consent in marriage, and reflects on authority and the education of women.
This edition is part of the Cervantes & Co. Spanish Classics collection, volume 5. Jeanie Murphy is listed as editor of the edition.
