"Penélope, la urdidora" ("Penelope, the schemer/weaver") refers to Penelope of Homer's *Odyssey*, exploring her famous cunning—most notably her trick of weaving and unwinding Laertes' shroud for years to delay her suitors while awaiting Odysseus' return. The epithet "urdidora" (weaver of plots) highlights her as an intelligent strategist rather than a passive, faithful wife.
