| Introduction | My husband's court got rid of me because I didn't want to be paraded around before a bunch of drunken aristocrats. I might have gotten a better reputation with the Jews, who make a big fuss about ladies' modesty, if they hadn't prioritized wifely obedience over all other female virtues. I think some of them like me better nowadays because I hear they are letting women read and write. Now I know how to do it and it's really fun! |
