#####Dr Sue Niebrzydowski at Bangor university said medieval women enjoyed a golden era with a greater life expectancy than men.#####

Haven’t women always lived longer than men? I know that childbirth was once dangerous, but so was most of the daily work men did.

#####”They could be more sexually liberated as there would be no child as evidence of their fornication or adultery.#####

Something tells me that one is about as fanciful as the occasional claims that the medieval world was pro-same sex “marriage”.

Thank you so much!!

Now that I have the translation, I can see that it's definitely not "feminist"!

Wow- what a wonderful song. Thanks so much for posting the English- I searched for hours and could find nothing that would give me the English version.
