From the supplier: Women in Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron 5.4 are dispossessed of social power through the male network of encoded language. While his female characters are able to use language creatively, the codes of authority remain with men. Metaphor and figurative speech do not provide women with equal authority if the social status quo is threatened.
