It's impossible that this was the case---what about during the day? Who did the women associate with, where did they all meet, because this concept of a women being alone all day in her house is a modern one---when the husbands were out, and the sons were at school, what did the women do? They didn't sit in the house and 'associate' with the servants, did they? So who came? What was their lifestyle together? Obviously the extended family lived together, so that's what I'm referring to----all the daughters-in-law, the mother, the aunts, whatever...how did that community of women associate? ys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
