1719. 'The women and the people' means both goods and truths. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'wives' and 'daughters' as goods, dealt with already in 489-491, 568, 915 - 'women' being used here instead of wives and daughters; and from the meaning of 'people' as truth, also dealt with already, in 1259, 1260.
