Abstract
This article focuses on the contrasting study of the sermons of three preachers from the 14th and 15th centuries, Giordano da Pisa, Bernardino of Siena and Vincent Ferrer, who shared the same objective: to show the weaknesses of women and, as a consequence, show the need for a spiritual conversion. The three preachers have in common the use of the vulgar language, although they present their message with different styles: Da Pisa addresses a cultured and expert audience; Bernardino preaches for all the people and tries to reach the whole society, to which he tries to advise and guide the conversion; Vincent Ferrer presents his sermons with a more offensive and vehement tone, in order to instill fear and achieve spiritual conversion.
