Israhel van Meckenem, Struggle for the breeches, 1480.

The theme of the struggle for the breeches appears in Western iconography from the Middle Ages until the Epinal images and the prints of the 19th century. Over this long period of time the focus increasingly shifts to the relations between husbands and wives. Until the 16th and 17thcenturies, however, a range of popular versions had depicted a struggle for authority (represented by the masculine breeches) between women. The article explores the different stages of this evolution and their context: the control over marriages and the moralization of conjugal relations
