Aztec Girls:
At birth their umbilical cords were buried in the hearth. It meant she was to be nothing more than a wife at home. The words uttered over her at birth are, "be in the heart of the home, go nowhere become the banked fire, the hearth stones." Women usually didn't go to school they stayed home and were taught how to pin and weave while also be good wives. Girls went to a different school than the boys did. The children attended school locally called telpochalli where the children would be taught basic occupational skills and they were taught good citizenship and the elements of warfare. Girls were taught to spin and weave starting at age four and were to beginning cooking at age twelve. Baby girls are implied a very different future, their handed miniature replicas of "the equipment of women". It consisted of a distaff with it's spindle and it's basket, and a broom. Girls were clearly shown the domestic items that they were forever assigned too. For example, a broom, pots, needles, and more. The girls were taught how to grind maize, cooking, spinning, and weaving!
