It was barely dawn and they'd been sleeping when the Duke, her former fiance, had broken into her chamber. He had a razor sharp sword clutched in his hand. "Get up whore." Henry was looking at her face now, sneering. She couldn't help it, she whimpered in fear. "Don't move, Jillian." The Prince was tensing, trying to position himself in front of her but the Duke was too fast. Henry stepped forward, his blade pointed at her throat, touching her skin. Jillian's whole body started to shake. "Get up or I will cut you." She closed her eyes tightly, the Prince's hands closed like manacles around her. "And then I'll cut him."

"Forget that you stole my bride? Turned her into this trollop... it is quite a display I must say. What a delightful bed partner you must be." Jillian stared at him as he licked his lips grotesquely.

Daily Life of Women [3 volumes]


Book Description

Indispensable for the student or researcher studying women's history, this book draws upon a wide array of cultural settings and time periods in which women displayed agency by carrying out their daily economic, familial, artistic, and religious obligations. Since record keeping began, history has been written by a relatively few elite men. Insights into women's history are left to be gleaned by scholars who undertake careful readings of ancient literature, examine archaeological artifacts, and study popular culture, such as folktales, musical traditions, and art. For some historical periods and geographic regions, this is the only way to develop some sense of what daily life might have been like for women in a particular time and place. This reference explores the daily life of women across civilizations. The work is organized in sections on different civilizations from around the world, arranged chronologically. Within each society, the encyclopedia highlights the roles of women within five broad thematic categories: the arts, economics and work, family and community life, recreation and social customs, and religious life. Included are numerous sidebars containing additional information, document excerpts, images, and suggestions for further reading.
