La bogotanas

Abstract

The image contains a news story about a text that highlights the wonderful qualities of a woman, telling the story of a man who initially believed, influenced by society, that his marriage was arranged and not based on love. In addition, she mentions that in another country she had heard that Bogotá women were haughty, rude and unskilled. However, the man emphasizes that women should not be judged by their customs or generalize, since not all of them have bad manners. She also mentions that many women with great potential are wasted on domestic work and that many men do not value their wives adequately. Finally, he states that if he had known the true qualities of Bogota women sooner, he would have quickly abandoned being single, since he considers them affectionate and kind.
