The work seeks to answer the question about the ideal of women in the territory of today's Slovakia in the early modern period. How was the feminine ideal perceived by important religious and secular leaders of the time? What was their opinion on the upbringing of girls and women's access to education? What social expectations were placed on women and to what extent could they realise themselves within the confines of contemporary society? Could she dispose of property, make decisions and govern? What role did marriage and motherhood play in her life and formation? These questions and aspects of the early modern feminine ideal have been used by the author in her biography of Elizabeth Cobor (1578-1626). Who was this woman? What social class did she come from? What were her origins? What was specific about her and what did she do? Did she find fulfilment in marriage and motherhood? Alzbeta Coborova's monograph, The Ideal of Woman - Lay Healing - The Turzo Heritage Controversy, seeks to answer these questions in connection with the search for the intersections between the ideal and the reality of the time.
