Answer:

Leon Battista Alberti argued that a wife should not have access to books or records due to social norms and values of his time. He argued that education and literacy could lead to vanity and pride, leading to social disorder and instability, and infidelity and moral corruption. His views are now outdated and discriminatory, and modern societies recognize the importance of equal access to education and literacy for all genders.
