The mature woman is candid.
The good mature woman [is] resolute, firm of heart; constant — not to be dismayed; brave, like a man; vigorous, resolute; persevering — not one to falter; a steadfast worker. She is long-suffering; she accepts reprimands calmly — endures things like a man. She becomes firm — takes courage. She is intent. She gives of herself. She goes in humility. She exerts herself.

My daughter, my youngest one: be an eagle woman. Face it. Imitate the eagle woman, Cihuacoatl'. The reference to 'eagle woman' (quauhcihuatl) referred to the eagle designation of an acclaimed warrior."
